"A Crowdsourced Syllabus about Race, African American History, Civil Rights, and Policing"

Last week I shared a note about the existence of the #FergusonSyllabus hashtag.

Yesterday, Dr Marcia Chatelain, who started #FergusonSyllabus published an article at The Atlantic where she tells the story of how it began, and shares a list of selected resources that can be helpful to spark thought and dialogue about Ferguson.

The selected categories include resources for:

Teaching about race and Ferguson
African American History/Civil Rights in the United States
Children’s books
Community Organizing, Leadership/Activism
Educational Issues
Film
Media Studies and Journalism
Other Educational Hashtags on Twitter
Personal Reflections–* My Note, “How Does It Feel To Be A Problem?” was mentioned in this category
Poetry
Policing
Race & Violence in America

“The following list was compiled by a community of teachers, academics, community leaders, and parents to teach about some aspect of the national crisis in Ferguson, Missouri. This is a snapshot of the recommendations that has been edited. The contributions continue on Twitter.”
