America’s history of racial inequality continues to undermine fair treatment, equal justice, and opportunity for many Americans. We must acknowledge the truth about our history before we can heal: truth and reconciliation are sequential.

The Equal Justice Initiative, run by Bryan Stevenson, designed A History of Racial Injustice calendar as a tool for learning more about people and events in American history that are critically important but not well known.

Please feel free to use this resource yourselves and/or as a way to engage students in daily learning about racial inequality.
