I can’t figure out precisely who Tess Raser is — many different people pop up when I Google that name — but this is how she introduces her “Wakanda Curriculum,” a “Black Panther Film Movie Companion for Middle Grades” available for all on Google Docs:
This curriculum is designed for students who are seeing Black Panther, as a means to having them engage more critically and thoughtfully with the film. The curriculum assumes that students, like mine, have previous experience of studying the African continent, its diversity and colonialism.
And this is the sort of stuff you’ll find:
You don’t have to be a middle-schooler, or a student of any kind, to find this fascinating and enlightening, and a good jumping-off point for learning more about African culture and how colonialism has impacted it.
(Here’s my review of Black Panther.)
ThinkProgress has an article about Tess Raser here: https://thinkprogress.org/teaching-black-panther-in-school-c4effeb16fdf/
didn’t Guinan in Star Trek have a similar headdress to the Zulu widow?
Sometimes, yes!

“[B]ad history is the essential foundation of all bigotry, from white supremacy to Holocaust denial. Uncomfortably closer to home, bad history still corrupts the way America’s schools teach subjects like slavery and Native American history, where euphemisms and anodyne accounts mask atrocities and embedded racial prejudice.”
Glad the conversations inspired by this film are part of the corrective. Much more like this is needed, of course.
This is only available if you compensate me. When you google “Tess Raser” it’s just me that pops up….They are just different things I’ve done, with slightly different pictures.
I’m sorry if I misrepresented your project. I believe it was readily available at the time. How can people get ahold of it now?
