This unit invites students to learn about the history of slavery at select schools in the United States and how these schools taught the "science" of racial inferiority. The goal is for students to work in collaborative groups to produce mini-presentations about US colleges and universities' historical ties to slavery, and to learn how ideas and practices circulate from institutions of higher learning to secondary schools.
