The 3E Program for Social Justice and Change African American History course is making an impact. Press play, to watch and listen to what parents and students are have to say.
Defines who we are as individuals or collectively as a society. The decisions we make have an impact on the well-being of others. The 3E Program presents historical evidence that guides students to think critically, in order to form their own opinions and assess right vs wrong.
One of the most important skills a person can have because it allows an individual to connect to another on a more personal level. The 3E Program provides opportunities for students to engage in tasks that guide them to understand and relate to the attitudes and emotions of communities subjected to generational trauma and tragedies.
Self-determination and confidence are the key to empowerment. 3E lesson plans encourage students to advocate and act on behalf of their own interests, or that of their community, by participating in civic engagement tasks such as writing a congressional bill, developing community proposals, strategizing social awareness campaigns, and creating public service announcements.

As part of our 3E Program, students explored a significant chapter in African American history — the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment. Conducted on Black men without their consent, it was the longest non-therapeutic medical experiment in history. After its exposure, ethical guidelines were established to prevent such injustices from occurring again, marking a pivotal moment in medical ethics and civil rights. As a class, we reviewed the Medical Code of Ethics established by the American Medical Association. We found a clause that still leaves room for discrimination. We decided to collectively write a letter to the AMA to address the loophole, in hopes of making a change. The AMA President, Jesse M. Ehrenfeld, responded to our letter to let us know what the AMA is doing to address the problem.
