John,
We cannot learn from the past and build a better future for us all without reconciling with our nation’s history of racism and white nationalism.
So at a time when access to the honest portrayal of American history in our schools is under attack, it’s never been more important to defend truth-telling.
That’s why Barbara co-sponsored Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s bill — the African American History Act — to support and invest in African American history education programs.
If you agree that African American history is a critical part of American history that should not be erased, please show your support by adding your name to Barbara’s petition as a citizen co-sponsor of the African American History Act.

In order to reconcile as a nation, it’s critical that there are opportunities and dedicated resources for truth-telling.
The African American History Act invests $10 million over 5 years in the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC) to support African American history education programs that are voluntarily available for students, parents, and educators.
The bill funds a variety of activities, all of which will allow the NMAAHC to continue supporting educators, students, and families in learning about African American history.
We cannot take education for granted. Stand with Barbara against the whitewashing of American history by signing on as a citizen co-sponsor of the African-American History Act.
