Let’s Talk about Race: It isn’t Real, but Racism is Lesson Plan and Materials "Objective: Students will begin the process of “unlearning” the deeply ingrained societal myth that race is a biological reality by tracing the origins of the invention of ‘race.'
"THIS KEY CONCEPT IN AN ANTIRACIST CLASSROOM: “Racism is real, Race is not...so race does not account for racism.” - Dr. Barbara Fields
"If race isn’t real, where does racism come from? This lesson follows the research of Dr. Barbara Fields and Dr. Ibram X. Kendi to show to students that racism does not actually come from ignorance or hate, but from racist policies which were created for the financial benefit of people in power. Later, racism was invented to justify those racist policies. Unfortunately, the made-up idea of race is going to have a gigantic impact on the story of American history. "
