Through this engaging and exciting course, students will participate in discussions on current events through the lenses of the Constitution and other historical artifacts, such as Jacob Lawrence’s “Struggle” art series. Bringing together historical context, current events, and personal experiences, students will discuss their perceptions of the underlying influences and causes of current political and social issues. Due to the dynamic nature of the media, this course is adapted to reflect current events while also weaving in historical artifacts that provide students with context and history behind the nature of race and equity in the United States.
