Black History K-6

Slavery is a fundamental part of United States history. Just as history instruction begins in elementary school, so too should learning about our country's sinful past ...slavery.

Our students deserve a truthful, age-appropriate account of our past. These resources for parents & elementary educators include a first-of-its-kind framework, along with student texts, teaching tools, and professional development for anyone committed to exploring, understanding, or teaching this hard history.

What we don’t know about American slavery hurts us all. From Teaching Tolerance and host Hasan Kwame Jeffries, Teaching Hard History brings us the lessons we should have learned in school through the voices of leading scholars and educators. It’s good advice for teachers, good information for everybody.
