I’ve been sharing lots o resources about George Floyd’s murder (see PART SIX: IMPORTANT TWEETS ABOUT THE MURDER OF GEORGE FLOYD).
I thought it would be useful to take the resources from those lists, and new ones, that I think are most useful for teachers trying to figure out how to incorporate it into their lessons (now, if they’re still teaching, or in the future).
I’m adding this list to many others on race and racism.

On the #1619Project: “In middle school they talked about slavery, but it was ‘Christopher Columbus, he found us,’” Arterah says. “Now I read this and I know he didn’t. We were the founding fathers. We put so much into the U.S. and we made the foundation.” https://t.co/EhvzaEvUTF
