Participants will go through a series of exercises on learning to use comics in the classroom to have difficult conversations about race and history. A WWII comic will be used as a case study to explore how the experience of Black WWII veterans can be used to have rich conversations about social justice and public policy. Participants will spend their time talking about the content's viewpoints and sharing their thought on how the content can be used in the classroom. They will also understand the cognitive psychology around how the brain processes comics and drives emotional reactions.
