Overt and Passive Resistance to Slavery...
Students examine efforts made by African slaves in the New World to resist slavery through a segment from the PBS seriesThe African Americans: Many Rivers to Cross. Students will compare several attempts at resistance and revolt and discuss factors that may have contributed to the success and failure of the slaves’ struggles toward freedom. Lastly, students discuss more creative and subtle methods of resistance to the dehumanization imposed by slavery, such as the maintenance and creation of unique cultural traditions.
