John,
Parents and educators are weighing in at the Children’s Carnival on
right-wing attacks from those who want to minimize Black history and what
it teaches us about civil rights and racial justice.
At the Children’s Carnival, we are providing Black youth with
opportunities to be represented in art and books, and explore parts of
their history alongside educators, community members, and their families.
John, we know the past few weeks have been A LOT. But Color Of
Change is not ceding an inch to right-wing enablers, especially not in our
children’s schools! That’s why we’re uplifting the Children’s Carnival as
an opportunity to explore how we will protect Black youth and educators
against the tide of these attacks.

John, we just wrapped the first of our three multi-city events
called Color Of Change’s 2022 Children’s Carnival. Our first was a huge
success with more than 500 folks in Houston. Our next two will take place
in Miami and Philly! These carnivals are Black youth-focused,
community-centered events where we discuss what is at stake for the future
of our children’s education.
The Children’s Carnival is the place parents, educators, and community
members can talk frankly about actions we can take that will ensure Black
history is not erased from textbooks across the country.

The Children’s Carnival raises awareness about the folks in power who are
working to erase historical and contemporary Black history from public
school curriculums. To date, 17 states have imposed anti-CRT bans and
restrictions through legislation or other avenues; 42 other states have
introduced bills or taken steps to downplay basic facts about Black
history from our children’s textbooks and teacher’s lesson plans.^1
John, we don’t side with right-wing dogma. We side with parents
and educators who believe that all children deserve to be represented in
the books they read and empowered with accurate knowledge about their
history.
That’s why we’re supporting this necessary work to host the Children’s
Carnival and other programs like it. We’ll use this opportunity to explore
how to fight back against anti-CRT rhetoric and other right-wing-fueled
attacks on racial progress.
