Teaching Hard History
Teaching Hard History
This podcast is anchored in the philosophy that what we don't know about American history hurts all of us. Created by Learning for Justice and host Dr. Hasan Kwame Jeffries, Teaching Hard History helps teachers create the "lessons we should have learned in school through the voices of leading scholars and educators." Season 2 is particularly relevant to this module as it discusses the system of American slavery in the context of both African and Indigenous peoples. Below, you'll find the teaser to season 2. Other seasons, covering topics like the Jim Crow Era and the Civil Rights movement, can be found on their web site here.
