Lesson: Emory Douglas: Revolution in Our Time, Part 2

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

I love lessons like this because they let kids see the power of art, poetry, and activism in times of social injustice and unrest. They'll analyze the art used by Emory Douglas in the production of the Black Panther newspaper and posters. They'll then analyze three poems written about various civil rights movements or social injustices involving race.
