They'll consider both the social context of the time and the Panther's mission as they analyze Douglas's work. They then analyze the lyrics to the James Brown song, "Say it Loud: I'm Black and I'm Proud." A wonderful way to bring social injustice and social revolution to the discussion table.
Visual literacy can be experienced in many different ways. Learners discuss the times, graphic art, and cultural significance of activism in art as they explore artist and Black Panther, Emory Douglas. This is a discussion-based lesson complete with background information and discussion questions.

I love lessons like this because they let kids see the power of art, poetry, and activism in times of social injustice and unrest.

Students investigate the context, issues, important people, and outcomes of the Civil Rights movement of the 1950's and 1960's.

They research primary and secondary sources.
