A historical black-and-white photograph showing four young Black children standing in front of a tall concrete wall in Detroit, Michigan. The wall, built in August 1941, was constructed to separate Black neighborhoods from a white housing development. A quote by John Vachon reads: ‘Negro children standing in front of half mile concrete wall, Detroit, Michigan. This wall was built in August 1941, to separate the Negro section from a white housing development going up on the other side.’ The image is part of a graphic titled ‘Designing Inequality: How Government Policies Segregated America’s Cities.

My lesson exploring how systemic inequality has shaped communities, using redlining maps and the 1940 Census. A powerful way for students to connect history with personal narratives and understand the impact of policy on people's lives. #edusky #history peterpappas.com/2020/11/mapp...

Forget where I heard this...

"Slavery is White history. How [Blacks] survived it is Black history.”

“Learning [Black] history is about truth. But it is also about reconciliation: making amends for the pain caused to generations of Black Americans.”

Encouraging Exploration and Innovation in the Classroom Small instructional shifts can guide students to use technology in ways that develop their critical thinking and creativity.
