Related Content
GRADE LEVEL: K-12
Overview
In this activity, students will watch short video documentaries about important changemakers and explore what it means to stand up to bias and injustice. Use the lesson plan that aligns with your selected changemaker. ADL’s In Concert Against Hate is a 26-year tradition that began in 1995 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of the Holocaust.
The event honors real life heroes and changemakers who have extraordinary stories of standing up to all forms of bias, injustice, extremism and hate. Each year, these stories are told through music performances and dramatic reenactments by acclaimed actors at The Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. In 2020-2021, In Concert Against Hate was virtual.
In this activity, students will:
- Learn about changemakers who stood up to bias and injustice in their communities and society at large.
- Reflect on the importance of doing something about the bias, discrimination and injustice they see in their school, community and world.
