Events
The Teach-Ins are inspired by Brown's Slavery & Justice Report's recommendation to “use the resources of the University to help ensure a quality education for the children of Rhode Island.” This FREE two-part series is an opportunity for local K–12 educators to learn the history of Black and Indigenous folks in New England while creating and modifying lessons on the subject to bring back to their classrooms.
Resources
A free educator’s guide for teaching about historical injustice, sovereignty, and freedom in the Dawnland (New England).
The Slavery & Legacy Walking Tours examine the history behind Brown University, the State of Rhode Island and their roles in the transatlantic slave trade and settler colonialism. The tours help students (junior high, high school, and college) as well as adult groups think critically about the University and state histories.
Embedded within the American social, political, and economic systems are various forms of structural violences. The Ruth J. Simmons Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice's series This Is America explores how these structures and systems are rooted in anti-Black racism.
