Note: This class is open to middle school students only.
The founding of America and its early history to the present is one that commonly leaves out the narrative of the marginalized. While some of the stories we have been taught often share ideas of heroes and major triumphs, they almost never share the true stories of the people who actually did all of the work. In this class, we will be reading and analyzing the literary work of Howard Zinn and his remarkable book, “A People’s History of the United States.” We will have meaningful discussions, write short responses, and research connecting narratives.
