Race/Ethnicity and Religion in American History (Jr/Sr High School Module)

Much has been written about the long history of racial and ethnic issues in the United States, from issues of racial inequality to those of immigration. Since religion is a powerful social institution, one that unites and divides people, what role does it play in the history of race/ethnicity in America? This learning module serves as a guide to understand how religion and race/ethnicity have historically been interconnected.

The ARDA Lesson Plans integrate content from the ARDA and other sources into teachable units. The lessons are designed for courses in a wide range of disciplines, including history, political science, psychology, religious studies, and sociology. This assignment was created for the Association of Religion Data Archives.  

Created for Junior and Senior High School Students.
