Too often, Afro-Latinx history is glossed over or omitted entirely in schools. In our webinar, we explore this rich history, offering a historical primer on Afro-Latinx identities, and recommending resources to help you introduce the topic to young people. https://t.co/oRu9aYICVi

#IndigenousPeoplesDay 87% of U.S. history standards relegate Native Americans to the past tense (pre-1900).

Here are stories of Native American activism from the 1960s to the present to #TeachOutsideTextbook in U.S. history classes. #PeoplesHistory ⬇️
