In this episode of Secular Homeschool Revolution, we’re diving into a powerful history lesson on the Black Panther Party with a focus on mutual aid. This unit study is designed for middle schoolers, with adaptations for upper elementary learners, and includes engaging book and video resources to bring history to life.
We’ll explore how the Black Panther Party’s community programs—like the Free Breakfast for Children Program—exemplify mutual aid and discuss ways homeschoolers can practice community care today. Plus, I’ll share practical ideas for integrating mutual aid into your homeschooling journey.
Let’s raise socially conscious, justice-oriented kids together!
