This initiative allows students to explore a chapter of James Forman Jr.'s book, Locking Up Our Own. Students learn to better understand the origins of efforts to decrease gun violence and delve into current activism around the issue. Students can use the lessons to better understand gun debates of the past and today, informing their personal views about what they and others should do now.
The 10-day initiative culminates with students learning about the March for Our Lives Movement and a national contest to design a shoe.
Please note: BreakFree is not currently sponsoring the Undivided initiative and is not running an associated competition, however the materials and resources remain available to teachers.
