The Policing and Social Justice HistoryLab, in partnership with CEDER in the UM School of Education, has released three series of curriculum guides for instructors and students to engage with the website Detroit Under Fire: Police Violence, Crime Politics, and the Struggle for Racial Justice in the Civil Rights Era. The primary audience is high school and middle school classrooms. Series 1 provides a broad overview of the website and includes a research project template. Series 2 introduces students to the themes of the website through three brief and synthetic StoryMaps that cover the period from 1957-1967. Series 3 provides a deep dive into the Kercheval Incident of 1966. View all three sets of curricular resources at this link.
