Dr. David Moguel will lead the workshop for history and social science teachers in our area, based on a set of on-line lessons and other resources featuring photographs of Los Angeles’ African-American community from the 1940s to the 1990s. This new curriculum provides teachers a fresh look at the African-American experience in Los Angeles, sprinkled with a bit of Hollywood glitter, but unafraid to explore some of the darkest undersides of a largely unknown history.

Four sets of lessons ask challenging questions, and provide teachers and their students access to the photographs which have been digitized with the assistance of a federal grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, video and audio oral interviews, maps and interesting ideas for classroom activities.  Topics include African Americans at Work in Post-WWII Los Angeles, Race, Housing and the fight for Civil Rights in Los Angeles, the Struggle to Desegregate Los Angeles Schools, and the Intentional Civility of Mayor Tom Bradley.
