Talking With Children About the Hard History of Slavery in the U.S.

From Southern Poverty Law Center: Learning for Justice:

https://www.learningforjustice.org/the-learning-center/education-justice

Podcasts: https://www.learningforjustice.org/podcasts

Curriculum for K-12, vetted by many scholars, worthy of addition to your class!

“Every child in the United States has a right to an equitable (fair and just) public education. Public schools play a crucial role in our democracy, providing the literacy, critical thinking skills and common-good values essential for participation in the democratic process. Education is not only an individual endeavor for career or economic gain but also a collective effort for community and national progress. Understanding current critical issues in education justice — including the possibilities and threats to public schools — can help us envision affirmative models that benefit all and counter efforts to undermine public education in favor of privatization and undemocratic practices for the financial gain of a few. Join us in demanding education justice and inclusive public schools that foster excellence and equity.”
