This is a 2/3 lesson looking at the origins of the Black Lives matter movement.

The first lesson is very much discussion based around the end of slavery and through the civil rights movement. Looking particularly at the death of Emmett Till.

The second lesson then looks at after the Civil Rights Act, briefly touching on the L.A Race Riots and then more recently with the death of George Floyd.

I have included historical detail in the notes as well as videos throughout.

This was used with Y8 as part of PSHCE lessons. It could equally be used as part of History lessons.
