This lesson will be either two 50 minute classes or one 70 minute class. I plan on using this lesson at the end of the school year to review what the students had learned throughout the school year and then expand into current time period of Civil Rights. The lesson will start with the 13 colonies time period with slavery and go to the signing of making Juneteenth a Federal holiday. 

Goal: Students should be able to observe and explain how starting with slavery in the 13 Colonies and moving through the decades on how slavery, segregation, Jim Crow Laws, and etc. has impacted and shaped the current culture of the United States with race. 

Question: How has U.S. history impacted and shaped the current issues with Racism in the United States?
