New 1619 Resources by Educators, for Educators

Posted by Pulitzer Center on February 22, 2022

For the past year, 41 teams of educators across the country have been digging deep into The 1619 Project, engaging their students in project resources and discussions, and developing standards-aligned units to share with the world. The 2021 cohort  is coming to a close, and we’re so excited to be in the midst of publishing dozens of new curricular resources that represent the culmination of these educators’ hard work, collaboration, and radical empathy.

Explore new units created by educators, for educators in our regularly updated resource library. You can filter by grade, subject, state, and more to find resources such as:

• Rooted in Song: Elementary students use reading and literacy skills to examine the lasting influence of the musical traditions of enslaved people on American music today.
• Mapping and Researching Race in the Early Colonies: Middle school students learn about the race in the early American colonies, the start of slavery in Virginia, the treatment of Native Americans in New England, and the role of the Iroquois Confederacy in shaping government.
• Evaluating The 1619 Project‘s Claims: High school students evaluate key claims made in essays from The 1619 Project as well as writing that criticizes the project, and discuss the controversy surrounding the teaching and legacy of slavery.
