Making a Scene: The Movement in Literature and Film – w/ Julie Buckner Armstrong

Teaching Hard History

From the hard work of organizing to the reality of everyday life under Jim Crow, films and literature can bring historical context to life for students. In this episode, we recommend several "must use" films, books, poems and plays for teaching the civil rights movement. We also discuss strategies for incorporating these works across the curricula and for turning even problematic texts into grist for meaningful critical discussions.

Our latest Spotify playlist has even more Movement Music inspired by this episode.
