Lesson Summary
Retired AFL star Adam Goodes is known to many for his resilient journey in the face of detrimental treatment by AFL spectators and the media beginning in 2013.
This lesson is focussed on exploring how racism feels from the receiving end and the importance of calling out racism. Students become aware that racism exists with a historical context and that what may not appear problematic on the surface can be very hurtful because of this history.
