Join the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta and the Georgia Council
on Economic Education for this special program for economics and
history teachers that will feature active learning activities to
engage students in the classroom.
Discover three lessons designed to help students understand the
economics behind the Great Migration and the lasting impact of
the Great Migration on society. The “Economics and the Great
Migration” curriculum from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis
introduces concepts such as incentives, demand, supply,
discrimination, inequality, and equity through the historical
lens of the Great Migration.
Other presentations and lesson demonstrations will focus on the
legacy of New Deal programs that institutionalized economic
discrimination and the efforts during the Civil Rights Movement
to enshrine economic rights into law. This program will use a
variety of primary source documents.
Audience: U.S. History and Economics Teachers, Grades 9-12
