And Black history and experiences are central to our nation’s story. With the current politically motivated attempts to restrict learning about and celebrating Black history and other aspects of our diversity — and our strengths — it is important for all of us to understand the foundational role of racism and white supremacy in our nation’s origin, which continue to shape politics today.

Everyone deserves to learn this history in all its complexity and in ways that are accurate, comprehensive and age-appropriate. Black history in the United States includes understanding Black people’s resilience and contributions to our nation, along with strategies for coalition-building and justice movements that are essential today.

Uplift Black stories during Black History Month, but more importantly, incorporate Black history all year long. Learning for Justice offers the following resources to help discuss, teach and learn from Black history.
