From the instructions: The purpose of The Negro Experience in America in this visual/verbal problem-solving approach to social studies is to reduce curricula dependence on the printed word, and to make'black history' visually accessible and immediately realistic. Reality, established by visibility, should then be combined with questions which are open-ended and aimed to foster discussion as to the nature of the chaos plaguing the nation. The teacher should challenge students to discover peaceful solutions such as reform, correction, and compromise. The teacher as moderator should be enough of an iconoclast to solicit controversial responses that avoid the monotonous repetition of a few enshrined answers that are more precious than precise.Pat answers in the social studies are difficult to support as final or definitive for this reason we do not supply our own answers to sample questions we raise. The posters cover African American history from the early days of slavery through the 1960s civil rights movement. Others show Buffalo Soldiers, the KKK, and one awful poster depicts a lynching.
Notable figures such as Sojourner Truth, W. Du Bois and George Washington Carver are also included. Each image is accompanied by explanatory text such as one showing the first draft of the Declaration of Independence which included a later-deleted paragraph condemning slavery and denouncing King George III for allowing it in the colonies; another with a photograph of a man picking cotton explained the importance of slavery to the cotton economy. Sample questions include, Would white prejudice and discrimination end if Negroes'behaved' themselves? " "What has white prejudice done to the black's personality and self-esteem?" "Has law and order been used to encourage black people or to keep them in their place? " While the condition of this set leads us to believe they may not have been used, written in pencil on the back of each poster is "Sex and Minorities Stereotyping Secondary.
