Essential question: How did the City of Greensboro recognize the November 3, 1979 Greensboro massacre? The lesson uses portions of a letter written to the Greensboro City Council dated October 17, 2017 by four survivors living in Greensboro. Students analyze the letter to gain an understanding of the causes of the Greensboro massacre and what must be done for the city to heal. Students look at similar events including Charlottesville, VA (2017).
