As we go about our day in Omaha Public Schools, let us pay tribute to the first people of this land and ensure that they are included in the narrative of our schools' past, present, and future.

We will forever fight the good fight. We will always get into good trouble. We will continue to defeat that which aims to defeat us. We will relentlessly seek the justice that you taught us to yearn for because life without it is not life. Your spirits are evergreen.

Today is Juneteenth—a day for celebration and remembrance that should be part of our collective knowledge of freedom struggles in this country. May our educators and youth continue the fight to ensure that the promise of freedom is delivered.

Many educators are trying to meet this moment. Others are looking for a better understanding of racism and antiracism. This collection has many resources that can help educators plan conversations with young people—and learn more themselves.

#OTD in 1870, the 15th Amendment was adopted, saying the right to vote could not be denied "on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." These resources from @ZinnEdProject help explain its context and complex history of enforcement. https://t.co/dwFoOuRngk
