I'm listing here what we're planning for this study, so I don't lose track of our resources. This is a unit study for an 11th grader (so it has some mature content).

- The Life of Frederick Douglass: A Graphic Narrative of a Slave's Journey from Bondage to Freedom by David F. Walker.
History Background:
- Continuing with Crash Course US History (specifically the videos leading up to the Civil War) - video series on Youtube
- Roots miniseries (on streaming)
- Amistad (movie)
Artist Study:
- Henry Ossawa Tanner (1859-1937) - painter
- Edmonia Lewis (1844-1907) - sculptor
Music:
- Video: "History of Black Music" by Elise Pinsonneault
- Song Study: "Go Down Moses"
