Eighth graders discussed the close race and planned recount in Georgia through the lens of the history of voter suppression in the South. Seventh grade English students read John Lewis’s graphic novel memoir “March” to learn about the history of the march for voting rights in Selma, Alabama, and upper school students have viewed in past years the docudrama about the event, “Selma.” As students evaluated the history of voter suppression in the wake of the Shelby County v. Holder 2013 Supreme Court decision, and reflected how the court case may have impacted the last two presidential elections. Since the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett last week, students have discussed at length the role of the court in voting rights and other social justice issues.
