Lesson created by Lauren McAlpine using TED-Ed's lesson creatorVideo from Densho YouTube channel
Let’s Begin…
The United States often touts itself as a "nation of immigrants," but this obscures the real story: Our country was built by enslaved Africans and exploited immigrants on stolen Indigenous land, which left deep scars that we have yet to heal. Explore how these darker parts of American history are interconnected, and work together to confront the past and build a more just and equitable future.
