Yesterday, thousands of civil rights activists marched in support of the Jena Six—young African American men who are victims of what has been described as a “modern-day lynching” in Jena, Louisiana.
The Network of Teacher Activist Groups (TAG) has just released a teaching guide titled: Reavealing Racists Roots: The Three R’s for Teaching about the Jena Six. You can download the guide (as a PDF) here.

I think there are some real connections to be made between the Jena Six and that of Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Check out our Teaching The Levees curriculum, which might afford some comparisons: http://www.teachingthelevees.org
I agree, thanks for the link for “Teaching the Levees”.
