A Lesson Plan on Daunte Wright and History

Long before sunrise the morning after Daunte Wright, a Black motorist, was killed by a white police officer outside Minneapolis, Kara Cisco made some quick posts to Facebook. She asked if anyone knew whether the previous night’s protests would affect her commute to work. She would need to traverse the part of Minneapolis where the uprisings that followed last summer’s killing of George Floyd began. The air in the city, she noted, “has been hanging heavy for days” as the trial of Derek Chauvin, the police officer charged in Floyd’s death, entered its third week. Minnesota’s 2020 Social Studies Teacher ...

Daunte Wright called his mom before being shot. George Floyd yelled for his. This is my greatest fear.

I was four months pregnant the night of July 6, 2016, when, scrolling on Facebook, I realized the video showing the aftermath of Philando Castile’s death had already gone viral. His partner, Diamond Reynolds, captured his final moments in real time. It was horrific. I had nightmares for weeks. Philando was killed a 10-minute drive from my Minneapolis home. His locs reminded me of my brothers’; the warmth emanating from his smile was reminiscent of my husband’s. I had watched the video of Eric Garner’s death two years before that, and Tamir Rice’s only a few months later. I vowed ...
