Accountability, Justice, and Healing After Derek Chauvin's Trial

This material, from our resource partner Facing History and Ourselves, is designed to help guide an initial class discussion on the verdict in Derek Chauvin’s trial. The activities prompt students to explore the complicated concepts of justice, accountability, and healing, while supporting them to process their feelings before engaging in a deeper study of policing and the legacy of racial injustice.
