Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.
This week in class, we’re reading "Bayard Rustin" by Britannica Kids.
In "Bayard Rustin," Britannica Kids explains how activist Bayard Rustin (1912-1987) served as an important civil rights adviser and organizer.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of America, Justice, Freedom & Equality, Prejudice & Discrimination, and Social Change & Revolution as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How has America changed over time?", "What is fair?", "What are the effects of prejudice?", and "How do people create change?"
