Breaking Bias: Lessons from the Amistad

Breaking Bias: Lessons from the Amistad, the New Jersey State Bar Foundation’s (NJSBF) newest curriculum, is coming soon.

Among other questions, the curriculum will seek to answer:

What is race?
What have been the consequences of social constructs about race in our country?
How did enslaved people and other African Americans resist oppression and bring about positive change?

A sneak peek at this curriculum will be launched at njsbf.org in the coming months. The date will be announced on the NJSBF social media platforms.
