Life On The Other Side
Life On The Other Side
In this lesson, students will grow an understanding of the history of the Jim Crow Laws and the connection to segregation and privilege during their time. This lesson begins by covering Gordon Parks’ museum exhibit then connecting his works into larger lessons of understanding one’s own privilege through a 3-part mini art series. Students will then be encouraged to share their ideas through discussion of their art.
