Reframing History | Toni Morrison

Engage students in a discussion about race, racism, and the experience of Black Americans in the greater narrative of American immigration in this video from the American Masters film Toni Morrison: The Pieces I Am. Support materials include discussion questions and ideas for extending learning in the classroom. In addition, educator Jocelyn Chadwick shares a multi-day lesson plan for pairing the video with the study of Morrison’s only published short story, “Recitatif.”
