PATRIOTISM IS A VERB: Teaching US History to Immigrant Kids
About this episode
The episode explores how teachers at Chelsea High School discuss American history with their predominantly Latino students amidst the backdrop of ICE raids.
Chelsea High School in Massachusetts is around 90 percent Latino, and the city has been ground zero for ICE raids in the Boston area. On the 250th anniversary of America’s founding, we wanted to know how teachers were talking to their students about American history and how it relates to the American present. On this third and final installment of PATRIOTISM IS A VERB, host Anna Kusmer talks to Chelsea High history teacher Byron Williams about framing the complex history of the US to students and why the Declaration of Independence is still a radical document.
