Black History and Constitution Educational Poster

Black History and Constitution Educational Poster from PosterGoat is a powerful, classroom-ready artwork that examines a pivotal contradiction in American history: how the 1787 U.S. Constitution embedded protections for slavery. Rendered in a classical, vintage-collage style, the poster pairs a striking painted scene of the Founding Fathers with the solemn figure of an enslaved man in chains, framed by bold Juneteenth typography and vibrant patterned side borders that draw the eye and spark conversation.

Designed for education and reflection, this poster makes complex history accessible. The clear headline “1787: U.S. Constitution Protects Slavery” and the illustrative paragraph beneath provide context for lessons on the Three-Fifths Compromise, the transatlantic slave trade, and the long journey toward Black freedom in America. It’s an ideal resource for K–12 classrooms, university history departments, community centers, and social justice exhibits.

• Visually arresting classical art: detailed oil-style illustration of delegates seated at a wooden table and a chained, standing individual illuminated by window light.
• Educational copy included: concise historical summary that complements lesson plans on American history and civil rights.
• Bold, readable design: large Juneteenth headline and high-contrast red and green typography for instant impact.
• Decor-ready: patterned African-inspired side panels bring cultural resonance and make the poster suitable for classroom wall art and home decor.
