At the Center for Racial Justice in Education, we

At the Center for Racial Justice in Education, we believe that the histories, stories, and voices of Black people should be centered, honored, and uplifted in school curricula every day. We also acknowledge the importance, relevance and origins of Black History Month. In 1926, Carter D. Woodson and the ASALH (Association for the Study of African American Life and History) launched “Negro History Week” to promote the studying of African American history as a discipline and to celebrate the accomplishments of African Americans. Today, we still see the absence of Black history and experience in our textbooks, required readings, STEM, and overall curriculum of our educational system. As we enter February, Center for Racial Justice in Education is providing resources to be used beyond the scope of this one-month. Swipe through to see a summary of our resources in this guide, and visit our website for further reading! #blackhistorymonth #BHM

A powerful poem and ending delivered by Amanda Gorman at today’s #Inauguration. While we have much work ahead, the beginning of the #BidenHarris administration is feeling like a fresh breath of air. We ask you all with Amanda, are we brave enough to embody the justice we want to see?
