| Abstract: |
FEATURES Adam Sanchez is a social studies teacher at Central High School in Philadelphia, an editor of Rethinking Schools, and a teacher leader with the Zinn Education Project. If, for example, students decide it might be "funny" to have the one Black student in their group play the racist employer, I emphasize the point of the improvisations is not to make others laugh, and encourage students to rethink their plan. Historian Lerone Bennett Jr. analyzed Pike's reaction in his book Black Power U.S.A.: The Human Side of Reconstruction, 1867-1877: "Nothing in Pike's past life had prepared him for such a turnabout … Black people in charge, running things, and white people, "cowed and demoralized".".
