Mr. Positive. 🧭Lesson Plan to Be Used with This Podcast: Reclaiming Black Patriots of the American Revolution Presented by the Positive People USA Podcast 🎯 Learning Objectives (with Examples) Students will: * Identify and explain the contributions of Black patriots in the Revolutionary War, such as: * Wentworth Cheswell, the first Black elected official in U.S. history, who rode north in 1774 to warn of British troop movements. * James Armistead Lafayette, a double agent whose intelligence helped secure victory at Yorktown in 1781. * Analyze how post-Civil War political forces erased Black contributions from historical narratives, using: * David Barton’s claim that Southern Democrats rewrote textbooks between 1870–1890 to support segregation and suppress Black patriotism. "Verbal Presentation." * Evaluate primary sources to restore historical truth, including: * William Cooper Nell’s 1855 book, The Colored Patriots of the American Revolution, which documents figures like Crispus Attucks and Salem Poor. 📈 Learning Outcomes By the end of the lesson, students will be able to: * Name and describe at least five Black patriots, including: * Peter Salem, who killed British Major Pitcairn at Bunker Hill (June 17, 1775). * Phillis Wheatley, who corresponded with George Washington in 1775–76, praising his leadership through poetry. * Explain the mechanisms of historical erasure, such as: * The removal of Black figures from post-Reconstruction textbooks to justify Jim Crow policies and white supremacy. * Create a civic restoration message that reclaims a forgotten legacy, such as: * A podcast script honoring Lemuel Haynes, the first Black ordained Protestant minister, who preached liberty and pastored churches in Massachusetts and New York. 🧪 Assessment Formative: * Quick write: “Why was Wentworth Cheswell’s election in 1768 historically significant?” * Group discussion: Analyze Prince Whipple’s symbolic presence in Washington Crossing the Delaware and its implications for visual legacy. * Draw a picture and explain the significance of any part of the podcast that strikes you as important.

Tell Another Positive Person About This Message Line Black History Is American History — No Permission Required Black People do not need consent to learn the truth about their own history. Learning about Black Patriots, Black brilliance, and Black resistance is not optional — it is essential to understanding America itself. Asking for “permission” to teach Black history sends the wrong message. It suggests that truth needs approval. It suggests that identity must be softened. It suggests that pride must be negotiated. We reject that. Stand tall. Stand informed. Stand honorable. Black USA, your history is not a side note — it is a foundation of this nation. Say it with your chest: “I’m Black and I’m proud.” And mean it every day. Tell Another Black American About This Podcast and Message Line. Comments: radiotalklr@gmail.com [radiotalklr@gmail.com]
