The goal of this class is to teach about people and organizations that worked together towards gaining equal rights for U.S. citizens.
Students will be able to explore a moment in American History
The hope is for students to be able to apply what they learned towards their understanding of the people and culture in the United States today.

I am a certified K-12 Theater Teacher who has studied Black History most of my life included at New York University, Teach 4 America and Living Voices where I studied and performed a Civil Rights play called, The Right to Dream as a Teaching Artist for school assemblies across NY and NJ.

I also worked as a Teaching Artist for George Street Playhouse where I helped enhance elementary schools' Black History lessons through playwriting and performance.

Finally, as a high school classroom teacher I taught students Black History and helped them write creatively and perform original works surrounding past and current issues.
