The History Behind Black History Month
Many educators silently wrestle with this question: Is Black History Month a window of opportunity or just a pigeonhole?
Black History Month begins Friday! The resources in this edition of The Moment will equip you with relevant teaching tools and suggestions for how to give this critical history the time, attention and depth it deserves.
The official theme of Black History Month 2020 is “African Americans and the Vote.” Black changemakers and activists have been fighting for equal rights since before our nation began. This week, we’ll be sharing resources on the history of Black civic engagement and the continuing fight for full equality under the law.
