 Throughout
our nation's history, individuals and groups – from
Baptists fighting for religious freedom to families seeking
gender equity in sports – have toppled barriers to
become full participants in our democracy. These stories
of everyday bravery are highlighted in the film.
To help students identify with ongoing efforts to achieve
equality, the film is narrated by teenagers who explain how
their families struggled for and found "a place at the
table."
"A Place at the Table" includes:
- 40-minute documentary film in VHS format;
- 144-page classroom text that includes narratives, historical
documents, first-person stories and commentary; and
- Teacher's guide with 13 detailed lesson plans for grades
8 and above.
