"My students were surprised and moved by 'our' history of intolerance. The curriculum stimulated great classroom discussions and helped students see that history and their lives are connected."

A Teaching Kit for the Middle and Upper Grades

Spanning three centuries, this resource explores the history of intolerance in America and our country's ongoing struggle to live up to its ideals of liberty, equality and justice for all.

Through documentary footage and eyewitness reports, students are given a powerful perspective on historical events from the ordinary people who lived through them.

"The Shadow of Hate" includes:

  • 40-minute Academy Award-nominated film in VHS format with closed-captioning;
  • 128-page text, "Us and Them"; and
  • Teacher's guide with 15 detailed lesson plans.
 
This kit is out of print.
