Lindsay and her team at the Ida B. Wells Education Project were inspired by the HBO Series Lovecraft Country to create a series of lessons exploring important Black history topics that were touched on in the show. This popular lesson series was highlighted by the Zinn Education Project and the Lovecraft Country Exhibition at Penn State. This lesson is a great example of Lindsay’s work, as it reveals a dark history but anchors in the resistance and strength of Black women organizers, supported by their communities. This is typical of Lindsay’s work, teaching under-examined topics in US history and connecting classroom learning to past and present movements for liberation. This lesson highlights the lives and work of organizers Ida B. Wells, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Gloria Richardson. Students will conduct mock interviews with these historical women, answering the questions: How did white supremacist terror affect Black communities in movements for justice? How did Black women keep fighting for justice in the face of that terror?

Featured on Teaching LGBTQ History Peta Lindsay designed this lesson in collaboration with the UCLA-History Geography Project and the ONE Archives Foundation. In this lesson students learn about the divers perspectives and organizations that shaped the movement for LGBTQ equality from the 1950s through the 1970s. Students will participate in a simulation where they play the role of members of specific, historically significant organizations that emerged in the LGBT movement between 1950-1970s, trying to form a united coalition and make decisions about the big political questions of the day. This is a very detailed historical lesson that allows students to simulate and better understand real discussions and decisions made by organizers in movements for liberation. Lindsay presented about this lesson at the 2019 Teaching History Conference hosted by UCLA, the theme of which was "Culturally Responsive Teaching in the History Classroom".
