Nonprofit offers lesson plans for Black History Month

RaceBridges, a nonprofit initiative that offers free lesson plans to promote interracial understanding, has created a new lesson just in time for Black History Month. Based on a story by La'Ron Williams, the lesson, which is titled "From Flint, MI to Your Front Door: Tracing the Roots of Racism in America," includes audio excerpts of the author telling his story.

There are now six free lesson plans available from the Race Bridges website, including another unit that is particularly relevant for Black History Month: "Black History: We All Have Race." Designed for students in middle school and high school, the lessons are self-contained; all the materials that teachers and counselors need to conduct the lessons are included on the RaceBridges website.
