Thanks for this! Not only did I feel the same way about racism “being over”, I largely internalized sexism to be over too. Thanks for helping explain why that might have been.

Jenna, I love this lesson and your post! Have you heard of The Zinn Education Project?

https://www.zinnedproject.org/materials/

I’ve used Howard Zinn’s materials for years to bring marginalized perspectives to my social studies lessons. He’s written a number of books that are kid-friendly. My favorite is “A Young People’s History of the United States.”

Also, this is an excellent collection: “Voices of a People's History of the United States.”
