This is the article I give the kids.  I described the rest of the activities I use in the lesson plan in the other post.

I can't remember the final outcome of it all, though. 

Also, re: the post where Yankee was told to go to the "colored board" (my own term for it, lol), Whiny Daisy created a whole separate post specifically to say Yankee should find a non-white board to post on (exact words).  It was after the day Yankee argued that white people have not known institutional racism but have known prejudice against their race.
