This section was personally my favorite because my students learned to increase the pride in others and bring awareness to injustices through two unique activities. The first activity was the African Descent project. As Black History approached, my students did not want to keep learning about civil rights leaders and slavery. To teach my students about their culture before the Trans-Atlantic Slave trade and their current culture, I created a research project on African figures. My students learned about the accomplishments of Queen Nzinga and the acting origins of Black Panther's Letitia Wright. This experience not only promoted pride in their culture but increased the cultural pride that other people have through their actions.  
​
In addition, their other activity was based on the real-world problem of the unarmed killing of black and brown people in America. My students chose this topic because they were privy to police brutality. (I added a period here) Freddie Gray was murdered by cops in 2015. With knowledge of police brutality, my students wrote and created a video on how police brutality affects them and solutions to that epidemic. They carefully thought about and skillfully spoke about this real-world problem. Their video not only was popular in my class but around the school as well. Moreover, my students advocated for a better community through conversations about the problems here in Baltimore, citing evidence from information I provided them to support their views and introduced new ideas on the topic.
