This documentary was developed for Brooklyn Connections, an educational program that uses BPL’s local archive housed to create resources for schools. The documentary focuses on a few key pieces of ephemera from the Civil Rights Movement and challenges students to think critically about the events of that era and connect them to social conditions in Brooklyn today.

Taking a flipped classroom approach to this project, our group decided to use eduCanon to make a video that has questions inserted into the video to engage students in discussion about the Civil Rights Movement in Brooklyn. Below you will find the link to the eduCanon film we made along with the slides we will use to present this project.
