I have used this assigned discussion with students enrolled in Education 203: Education in American Society, offered at Los Angeles Valley College.  This assignment is one of several that address the philosophy of education, particularly Paolo Freire's view of critical pedagogy.  The lesson was preceeded by two modules that presented the use of graphic organizers, hence the assignment involves a Thinking Map.  The assignment can be modified with a different manner of demonstrating knowledge other than graphic organizers. Attribution: Thinking Maps:  https://www.thinkingmaps.com/

Students begin this unit by discussing their relationship with art, and the extent to which they believe art drives resistance movements. Students then participate in a Gallery Walk that highlights how members of the Puerto Rico community in the Young Lords used art to advance their ideas and preserve their culture. Students center the activism of Indigenous peoples in Puerto Rico by studying bomba music and murals. This helps them understand the roots of art—both visual and performance—as activism, and respond to the question: How can understanding Latinidad through art help us confront social and political injustices? Throughout this unit, students work in teams to create a poster series that inspires civic engagement and action on issues of social and political injustice.
