Friend,

The Texas Freedom Network was proud to stand with scholars and
activists who called for the State Board of Education to approve an
elective course in Mexican American Studies for Texas public schools.
It took four long years, but the state board finally did it last year.

Now let's make it happen for African American Studies. You can
help by speaking out in favor of an elective course in African
American Studies at a public hearing before the board on Nov. 13!

You must register between 8 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 8, and 5 p.m. on
Monday, Nov. 11.

For too long now, Texas has done a poor job making sure that students
learn about the contributions and experiences of people of color in
our state and nation's history. Let's tell the State Board
of Education that it's time for Texas to teach the truth and
tell the full story of our nation and all of its people.

If you are a scholar, educator or specialist in African American
Studies and want to help get this course approved, click here to let
us know: [link removed]

In the fight,
Rev. Erika Wilson
TFN Outreach & Faith Coordinator
