“A Crowdsourced Syllabus about Race, African American History, Civil Rights, and Policing”
Black Life Matters
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.”
