Explain to students that they will look at one panel from a series of pieces created by Jacob Lawrence and have students look at Panel #4 from his “Harriet Tubman Series.” 

Ask students the following questions as they look at the panel.

• What do you know about Harriet Tubman? How does this image compare to what you know ?
• Why might Lawrence have created this piece of art?
• Why does it matter who tells stories of the past?
• What about Black heritage and history does Lawrence remember and celebrate through this panel?
