Black stories, Black history, and Black educators are under attack. This MLK Day, we honor Dr. King’s legacy by fighting to defend teaching Black history in our schools. Right-wing conservatives are on a ruthless mission to rewrite American history and maintain the corrupt, racist systems that exploit our communities and threaten our democracy. Teaching real history is legally banned in 13 states. Our educators are on the frontlines and risk being fired when they refuse to lie to our children.
Next month is Black History Month when most teachers create lessons to honor historical changemakers like Dr. King; but if they do so in states like Florida and Tennessee, they could lose their job. That’s why we can’t give up on this fight. Our educators and our children deserve better.
