The activities contain a vocabulary section to ensure students are comprehending the material,  a reading section which includes much of the vocabulary and introduces students to the topic, a STEM section which requires students to scientifically think about the material and may include vocabulary, and a writing section which requires students to reflect on the material or answer the prompt using evidence or by making inferences. 

The Brief Student Reading:

The United States has always been a great experiment; a melting pot of several cultures. Unable to achieve homogeneity, and unwilling to share, America has been plagued with conflict and competition from multiple groups competing for the same resources.

Martin Luther King had a dream of the Beloved Community in which all races could get along. Some teens think the dream can be realized and some don’t. Do you think MLK’s dream came true? Is everyone equal in America?


Black people must decide if they want to stay integrated in a society where black lives don’t appear to matter or separate themselves from that society which intends on keeping them as an underclass to be subservient to other races.


The fight for reparations to close the wealth gap between blacks and non-blacks would help tremendously to rebuild all black towns and aid in the separation for those who choose to do so.


Afro-centric people agree that it is imperative to educate black students in black schools to prepare them to build the future that black people need.


A future free of white supremacy, free of racism, equitable opportunities, right to life and the pursuit of happiness.

End of Brief Student Reading!
