Ever want to learn more about history not taught about racial injustices? In this activity made from Equal Justice Initiative's "A History of Racial Injustice" calendar, teams build their own timeline of events from the calendar, testing their knowledge and memory of past events.
For each turn, your team will read a random historical event from the EJI website. Your team guesses the date, and decides where that event falls in your timeline (noted for your team in Chat). If your team is correct about the placement, your timeline grows. We will see which team can build the longest timeline. We will take time to discuss details anyone knows about the events in history (to gain more points for our team and make it even more of a learning experience).

This is the original timeline game this activity is designed after: http://buffalogames.com/chronology/
Please let us know your needs so we can help make the event accessible for you.
This group is a part of Boston Knapsack Anti-Racism Group.
