Overview
About this Mini-Lesson
This mini-unit explores the historic roots and ongoing impact of racial injustice in American policing. This final mini-lesson invites students to synthesize their learning about the causes of racial injustice in policing and reflect on the implications these causes have on the individual and collective choices we make today. Students have the opportunity to explore a variety of policy proposals to reform or transform policing and to consider what it might take to create a society that ensures safety for all.
