In this article we outline the importance of reinserting the voices, experiences, and contributions of Black women as critical citizens into the narrative of the modern-day Civil Rights Movement. In order to examine the history of Black women as critical civic agents, teachers must interrogate how Black women’s raced and gendered identities intersect and result in a particular kind of discrimination that is oftentimes never examined. We explore the ways in which the arts can be integrated into the social studies and used to facilitate and elevate conversations regarding critical citizenship for middle grades students. We end by discussing the importance of teaching social studies through an intersectional lens utilizing the arts as a way to reframe critical civic activism and engagement.

“未来是交叉的”：利用艺术将黑人女性重新插入民权叙事中

在本文中，我们概述了将黑人女性作为批判性公民的声音、经历和贡献重新纳入现代民权运动叙事的重要性。为了检查黑人妇女作为重要公民代理人的历史，教师必须询问黑人妇女的种族和性别身份如何交叉并导致通常从未检查过的特定类型的歧视。我们探索将艺术融入社会研究的方式，并用于促进和提升中年级学生关于批判性公民的对话。最后，我们通过交叉视角讨论社会研究教学的重要性，利用艺术作为重新构建批判性公民行动主义和参与的一种方式。
