This collection of resources and the resulting website are a collaboration between UConn Neag School of Education pre-service teachers and social studies teachers from around Connecticut. Our goal is to support educators in implementing Connecticut’s new African American/Latinx High School Course.

Within each unit the "readings" folder is generally secondary sources. Any primary source readings are in the "primary sources folder" while all fiction has its own "historical fiction" folder. Any sources that fit across multiple units are included in each of those units. Sources are organized by type within each folder (e.g. feature vs. documentary film or type of primary source). The vast majority of the images used throughout the site are from the Library of Congress or National Archives and none are copyrighted.

Please be patient as we continue to build the website - we are all busy teachers and this takes time. For questions, feedback, or to suggest resources for us to add, please contact our faculty advisor, Alan Marcus: alan.marcus@uconn.edu
