Free Marcus Garvey Lesson Plans at Teachers Pay Teachers

Black History Month is the season when educators scramble for resources that go beyond the same recycled figures and safe narratives. Garvey rarely makes the rotation. He should.

I created a free lesson plan, Marcus Garvey and the Power of the Mind, designed to introduce students to Garvey’s philosophy of mental emancipation through the framework of a growth mindset. The plan is ready to download, adapt, and use in your classroom today.

Garvey taught that liberation begins in the mind. A lesson plan is a small thing. What students do with the ideas inside it is not.
