Overview

In this activity, students explore different ways resistance can look through the stories of Queen Njinga and Elizabeth Freeman. Then, they will analyze text and multimedia to inform a written reflection and group discussion about the legacy of Black resistance and how we can resist injustice.

An optional extension activity guides students in completing a research project on Black leaders resisting injustice throughout history.
