“Learning honest history—history that is accurate, comprehensive and inclusive of perspectives beyond traditional, dominant narratives—helps students to understand the forces that shape our world and to make connections between the past and the present. In today’s political environment, with numerous states censoring teaching accurate history and critical learning about race and racism as well as gender and identity, fighting for young people’s rights to research-based practices and inclusive education is essential.”

Learning for Justice’s newest resource guide, Advocating for Teaching Honest History, offers concrete tools for educators seeking to ensure the right of future generations to an accurate accounting of our nation’s history. This guide supports our newest curriculum framework, Teaching the Civil Rights Movement (see below), by providing guidance for how to approach teaching and advocating for honest history education in the classroom, with families, with colleagues, with school and district leaders, and in the community at large.
