Lesson plan – Race and Poverty In this lesson, students will learn that race is a factor often connected to poverty and that institutions can create obstacles for the poor — and for people of color who live in poverty — that block participation and achievement.

Students will examine the ways poverty is closely related to economic and political policy, and will work to discover why it disproportionately affects members of non-dominant groups — that is, groups that have historically been oppressed.
