John -- As many of you know, I spent 20 years as an educator before Congress. I saw firsthand how transforming a child’s learning environment can unlock their full potential and lead us into a true and educated democracy.

But in today’s current education system, our democracy and our history is being challenged, and this ignorance to the truth has left many students all over the country subject to dishonest and unjust education.

That’s why I am honored to present the African American History Act today. This act will invest $10 million over a 5 year period in the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) to support African American history education programs that are available to all. This bill will fund a variety of activities, all of which will allow the NMAAHC to continue supporting educators, students, and families in learning about African American history.

John, if you stand with me and believe that African American history is a prevalent part of our past, present, and future, please add your name and support the African American History Act today. [[link removed]]

The African American History Act is set to increase the national capacity for African American history education while also funding and improving upon a variety of the NMAAHC’s resources such as:

Developing and maintaining accessible resources to promote an understanding of African American history. 

Engaging with local and state leaders interested in incorporating these resources in curricula. 

Engaging with the public through programming, resources, and social media to increase awareness of African American history through a social justice and anti-bias lens.

Convening experts and creating and providing scholarly work.

Translating new and existing NMAAHC work into multiple languages for accessibility. 

Education and literacy play key roles in ensuring all of us have access to high quality and historically accurate information. And a multiracial democracy ensures that the social, economic, and political rights of all in the United States requires us to tell the full truth about our country’s history.

The truth should always be available to all and inspire us to move towards the direction and knowledge of a true democracy. Investing and supporting African American history to fight back against those who villainize the truth is the antidote to organized ignorance, which in turn will support our work to build a multiracial democracy.

John, please stand with me in support of the African American History Act and our efforts to ensure that our students are granted an education rooted in tolerance, love, and justice for humanity — not fear or hate — by adding your name today. [[link removed]]
