Objectives

Students will understand the ways in which prison is connected to institutionalized slavery.

Students through music, will understand the conditions of plantation slavery and prison slavery.

“We believe that the many Black and poor oppressed people now held in US prisons and jails have not received fair and impartial trials under a racist and fascist judicial system and should be free from incarceration. We believe in the elimination of all wretched, inhuman penal institutions, because the masses of men and women imprisoned inside the US … are victims of oppressive conditions, which are the real cause of their imprisonment.”

Post definition: Anti-blackness is a global phenomenon that affects people in every cultural and ethnic group. Within larger systems of structural oppression, it translates to higher rates of social ills, including poverty, unemployment, poor health outcomes, and substandard housing. We will also discuss the impact of anti-blackness in our congregations and beyond.

(modify if needed depending on your students comprehension)

Anti-Blackness comes from the idea that black people do not get to be full people in the world as a whole.

It’s the idea that black people are discriminated against globally---not just here in the United States.

This is seen thru policies, black face, darker skinned people being treated worse in most societies worldwide.

Hook:

Distribute some sort of candy or snack to a student.

Tell them not to eat it and that they’ll be able to soon because it’s their snack. They own it, and it has always been there.

Introduce that today we’ll be discussing colonialism and its effects on Africa.

Then before beginning, subtly wander over to the student who you have candy to, and subtly eat the food, and tell the student to stand up and take their chair to sit in.

Pause for the student’s reaction. Ask the class what I just did and was it justified? Note reactions on white board, and note that at a very basic and less violent level, that was a way of looking at colonialism.
