Child Defender,
February is Black History Month. But, every day is an opportunity to talk unapologetically about Black historyand to give young people of color a way to see themselves in it. Check out 10 Resources for Educators Looking to Incorporate Black History Intro Their Classrooms All Year Long.
Reading is an essential cornerstone of CDF Freedom Schools' ® program curriculum. The writers included in our summer and after-school programs focus on Black history, but as it intersects with other movementseveryone is alike across communities, but we may not realize it until we take a closer look. We may not understand how we fit into the legacies of our own communities, either, until we see ourselves in those stories. CDF Freedom Schools scholars open up books and find people like themselves within, which we know invites them to learn more openly and to share what they learn in conversation with their families and community.

Black history isn't a month. Black history is a daily movement of collective care. Ask the young people in your life and community what they're reading. Share the stories of Black history with one another. Our children are the cultural ambassadors who will take the significance of the work that's brought us here forward into a truly multiracial, multicultural democratic chapter of Black history in America.
Every day, we must honorand keep writingthe story.
In hope,
Dr. Kristal Moore Clemons
National Director, CDF Freedom Schools
