With everything going on in the world right now, it is important learners understand what racism is all about and the role Black Lives Matter has in the current climate.
Week 1:  An interactive discussion with a Powerpoint presentation will define and discuss the history of Blacks, racism and introduce Black Lives Matter. The learners will be asked if they know of any friends or family who has experienced racism.  A discussion of the case of Trayvon Martin will be held 
Week 2: An interactive discussion with a Powerpoint presentation will present 5 of the 13 Guiding Principles of Blacks Lives Matter.  The principles to be discussed are:
a.  Restorative Justice
b.  Empathy
c.  Loving Engagement
d.  Diversity
e.  Unapologetically Black
The learners will be asked how they can show these principals or if they have any friends or family who have shown these principals.  The learners are not required to represent these principals. A discussion of the case of George Floyd will be held. 

Week 3:  An interactive discussion with a Powerpoint presentation will highlight the cases of Emmitt Till, Breonna Taylor and Aumad Arbery.
The learners will then present their research on other injustices and show the Black Lives Matter Protest signs they created for homework. This homework is optional.  Learners will only research and/or create signs if they choose to do so.  We will also discuss other ways to support the Black Lives Matter movement if interested.
