Episode 1: Rethinking the Civil Rights Canon

Paige and Margaret are back in season 2 with a consideration of Civil Rights literature. What are the goals of teaching Civil Rights Movements in a literature classroom? What sort of texts do we include? What topics do we focus on? What assignments do we give? We chat about how we can broaden our understanding of Civil Rights literature to help students better understand the fight for progress and the conversations that surround it. How do you teach the literature of Civil Rights Movements? We'd love to hear your experience, comments, and questions on Twitter @Literaturely101, Instagram at LiteraturelyPodcast, or at Gmail at [email protected]
