Teacher's Guide for The New Jim Crow Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness

Launch of the Teacher's Guide for The New Jim Crow

Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness

by Michelle Alexander

In September, I tuned into a webinar by Teaching Tolerance, a project of the Southern Poverty Law Center.  It featured Michelle Alexander engaged in a Q&A and one of the topics was the upcoming release of the Teacher's Guide for high schools.  You can access the teacher's guide at the link above.  Teaching Tolerance and Michelle Alexander will also discuss the teacher's guide Wednesday, at 5 pm (MT) and you can login in by registering here.
