Lesson Plan: The Power of Co-opted Symbols
Creator
Maura Bailey, Graduate Student, Fitchburg State University
Rationale
How are symbols used to create a sense of community? What happens when those symbols fail to reflect the reality of a community? What happens when those symbols are co-opted to strip power from a group of people in order to empower others? How does our understanding of history - and the stories that are chosen to be told - impact our perceptions of people and events in today's world?
