Exploring 'The 1619 Project'
By Pulitzer Center
6 - 12
This collection is designed to introduce students to The 1619 Project, an initiative of The New York Times Magazine that examines the legacy of slavery in contemporary U.S. systems and society, and celebrates Black Americans' contributions to democracy.
Students will explore images, multimedia, and short text excerpts associated with the project. They will strengthen their knowledge and critical thinking skills through engaging discussion and hands-on activities such as a fact-sorting challenge, a gallery walk, and the collaborative construction of a timeline of racial (in)justice.
For more activities that explore the injustices of slavery and uplift the resistance and innovation of Black Americans, visit The 1619 Project collection from the Pulitzer Center, also available on Mizzen.

The News and You: Journalism and Media Literacy for Grades 2-6
By Pulitzer Center
K - 8
This collection supports students in developing a healthy relationship to the news rooted in curiosity, critical thinking, empathy, and empowerment.
Students will learn what the news is and reflect on how they can use it in their lives. They will examine the idea of bias and learn how to challenge it, using some of the same skills journalists use. They will consider why some stories get more attention than others, and explore the importance of seeking out underreported stories in order to see a fuller picture of people, places, and issues. Finally, students will move from analyzing news stories to sharing their learning. In their final projects, students will use creative expression and journalistic information to draw attention to the issues that matter to them.
Throughout this collection, facilitators have access to the option of requesting a free virtual visit with a Pulitzer Center journalist who can support students in digging deeper into any of these topics, getting their questions answered, and exploring careers in the journalism field.
