This timeline follows the history of African Americans, women, Native Americans, and working people. It was composed through the research of students in the 400 Years of Inequality class at The New School, taught by Mindy Fullilove, in Spring and Fall of 2017.  The images and text are drawn from multiple sources and have been composed here by the timeline designers for public education purposes. 

While workshopping the timeline through multiple design stages, we observed that great progress in the fight against inequality has been achieved by coalitions.  We hope you see the same history when you and members of your team review it, and we offer this downloadable pdf for you to share and use as a free educational tool. 

PRINTING GUIDES
Option 1
The Timeline is divided into two separate images - Part 1 and Part 2 - for ease of printing. The images are 34" x 96" (8’) each; put together, the
total length is 34" x 16’. We designed them to be in two parts so that if you do not have at least 16 ft of wall space, they could be hung on on top of the other on an 8' wall, or displayed on large tables.


Option 2
Take each PDF and print it in 'Poster Format' at 30% with a 1 inch. overlap. If you can print on both sides of the 11x17 page, this turns it nicely into two pages that can be stapled together.  If not, it will be 4 one-sided pages in total.

The Timeline can also be reduced in size by a professional print shop, but we recommend that it be printed at no smaller than half scale, so that the total size end to end is only 8'. This ensures the text is still readable. There's a lot of history in 400 years!
