#TheView honors 'Sesame Street' co-creator Joan Ganz Cooney this #WomensHistoryMonth and her work to deliver educational television to children everywhere! Cooney broke barriers with her study on TV as a learning tool and created the 1st children's show with a multiracial cast.

Quit taking your best teachers out of the classroom and making them “instructional coaches.”

This is like taking Shohei Ohtani and making him the hitting coach.

Truth...

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

Job creep occurs often with teachers.
What is ‘job creep’ you ask?

𝐉𝐨𝐛 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐩 is a phenomenon in which employers slowly require increasing amounts of work relative to the normal requirements.

[Fixing Education @FixingEducation]

Interviewed a ‘Teacher of the Year’ who left the profession last month.

“Why did you resign?”

“I was constantly exhausted, overwhelmed, and left feeling unappreciated. Even with strong classroom management, student behavior was unmanageable—and the pay was simply too low.”

We, the #youth, have something to say and we can say it well. We don't just want a seat at the table - we want a say at the table as well.
How can the #community make space for #youthvoice?

This #BHM, we honor Benjamin Mays, “Dean of the Movement,” whose legacy as a #BlackTeacher & mentor helped shape the Civil Rights Movement. As @Morehouse president, he inspired MLK & championed #edu as a tool for justice. His legacy shows that great teachers ignite & inspire. ✊🏾

Our celebration of Black educators continues with Septima Clark, a trailblazing teacher & civil rights leader who made #edu a tool for change. Clark empowered Black communities through literacy & civic engagement, helping many vote. Her legacy lives on. #BHM

We continue our #BlackHistoryMonth celebration of Black educators with the legacy of Anna Julia Cooper. A scholar, activist, and one of the first Black women to earn a Ph.D., she championed #edu as a tool for racial & gender equity. Her work continues to inspire generations.

A true hero has taken his final flight. ✈️ Lt. Col. Harry Stewart Jr., one of the last surviving Tuskegee Airman, has passed at 100. He broke barriers and defended a country that denied him equality when he returned home. His legacy soars on. Rest in Power, Lt. Col. Stewart.

Martin Luther King Jr. knew that we couldn't afford to be disengaged or wait for the perfect "ally" to work with.

It's good to have @ccoleiii back bringing #CommonSense to the masses. #MLKWeekend #mlkday2025

#TheKingCenter presents, ‘Sharing Our History, Shaping Our Future,’ a 2025 Black History Month series.

Dr. Maya Angelou once said, “History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.”

Of course, not all Black History was tragic. And, as we remember all aspects of Black History, we are reminded that Black History is Human History.

Black History is World History.

We celebrate the triumphs of our past; we contemplate the troubles and trauma of our past with courage.

We call on our World House to join in committing to creating the Beloved Community, so that horrors are not lived again and our collective human capacity to learn to live together is realized.

When we remember Black History truthfully and with intent to gain wisdom and lessons for today, we make good history and shape a just, humane, peaceful future.

We are ‘Sharing Our History, Shaping Our Future.’

How You Can Be A Part:

•Follow the series via https://t.co/4IKCjOIJYg and our social media platforms.

•Engage your online and offline connections by texting the graphics and by sharing them on your social media platforms.

•Share our Black History Month posts, stories, and reels. We are @thekingcenter on Instagram, X, and Facebook.
