** Teach About Voting Rights and the 19th Amendment
------------------------------------------------------------
This week is the anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment. It’s important to remember that many Americans, particularly women of color, didn’t have the right to vote for years after the passage of the 19th Amendment. You can use this lesson ([link removed]) to help disrupt oversimplified narratives of voting rights. Students will examine laws and court rulings that have affected the voting rights of millions of Americans, explore a timeline of voting rights in the United States and more.

** Videos for Teaching and Learning About Slavery
------------------------------------------------------------
Featuring historians and scholars like Ibram X. Kendi, our Teaching Hard History Key Concept Videos ([link removed]) examine slavery’s impact on the lives of enslaved people in what is now the United States and the nation’s development around the institution. They’ll also teach students about the revolutionary and everyday ways enslaved people resisted oppression.

------------------------------------------------------------

“The distortions and the evasions did not kill the history. Black historians pushed back against white supremacist narratives. ... Black families, Black churches and Black schools kept stories of oppression, resistance and achievement alive.” — Montgomery Advertiser ([link removed])

“While Covid-19 certainly shed new light on health risks associated with substandard school conditions, the roots of the problem are much deeper. The racially biased policies and practices ... that were implemented more than 100 years ago set the stage.” — The Washington Post ([link removed])

“As we’re learning more about what our history is, [young people] are fortified ... and able to kind of build on that.” — The Los Angeles Times ([link removed])
