Class experience

The 1619 Project, inaugurated with a special issue of The New York Times Magazine, challenges us to reframe our understanding of U.S. history by marking the year when the first enslaved Africans arrived on Virginia soil as our nation's foundational date, and untethering ourselves from misinformation rooted at the core of our education system. Nikole Hannah Jones, author of "The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story" also wrote "The 1619 Project: Born on the Water", a children's book about a young...
This class is taught in English.
Students will use the 1619 Project as a launch pad to analyze, understand and discuss US history, specifically as it pertains to the legacy of capitalism and oppression.

In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
We will discuss difficult themes including, but not limited to: · Racism/Capitalism · Middle Passage/Chattel Slavery· Anti-Black Violence Regardless of age, these topics are often hard to digest and your student will likely need your support to unpack and move through the content in between sessions. Politically and culturally sensitive topics will be discussed each week of class with some topics being heavier than others. We will routinely approach highly sensitive topics including state-sanctioned violence, police brutality, criminality and systemic oppression. The course educator has undergone significant Diversity, Inclusion and Sensitivity trainings to properly support students in understanding and processing this information. Sessions where tough topics will emerge will be preceded by a content warning. Google Drive/Classroom/Suite Apps: Google Drive & Classroom will only be used during our allotted class time to access class readings and Google slide presentations. Quizlet: Students will utilize Quizlet to review important terms and definitions as they curate their final presentations and assess their understanding of terms used throughout the class. YouTube: Pre-screened content from YouTube will be included in Google slide presentations presented to the class via screen-share. The 2-4 hours of week outside of class are not to be spent working within Google Classroom/Suites, but to read & engage with the next session's assigned reading by answering questions shared at the end of the previous class session. Wikipedia & The Pulitzer Center can be utilized for further research done individually.
