@falkneac A6. Personal oral histories can be so powerful. And schools are a natural place to introduce all justice-related topics. Nearly every family has a connection to it and every student is in some ways living the aftermath. Learn the history and the questions ask themselves! #sschat

[Anna Falkner @falkneac]

We also HIGHLY recommend this issue of Social Studies and the Young Learner on teaching Black History https://t.co/qrgzzqQNUW featuring the work of @DrLaGarrettKing @queendomteachin and more! #sschat

@falkneac A3. I find that the complexity and nuance of perspectives within Black community is often missing. Not an unusual absence unfortunately.

[Anna Falkner @falkneac]

@scottmpetri Shout out to @jkeysadair and @kiyomi_sanchez
who explore this issue in their book https://t.co/bL3oHReHyT #sschat

[Anna Falkner @falkneac]

@scottmpetri A great example of segregation by experience--who gets access to curriculum that reflects them and who doesn't? #sschat

Q6: How might we use local desegregation stories to engage in intergenerational conversations about educational equity and inclusion? #sschat

[Anna Falkner @falkneac]

@scottmpetri @UCLAHGP Love it! Do the elementary/middle grades get access to ethnic studies too? #sschat

[Anna Falkner @falkneac]

@ginatillis1 @MEMThirteen @UnevenKiel
is the director of this film, thanks for joining us this evening! He writes a lot about the legacies of segregation and desegregation in Memphis #sschat

[Anna Falkner @falkneac]

Q5: What resources have you used to learn about local history in the past? Who might be useful to help you learn more about your local school district’s history? #sschat

[Anna Falkner @falkneac]

#sschat Q3/A4 Other picture books which help tell the diverse stories of school desegregation are I Am Not a Number, by Jenni Kay Dupuis, Separate Is Never Equal: Sylvia Mendez & Her Family’s Fight for Desegregation, Duncan Tonatiuh, & The First Step:
by Susan E. Goodman

[Anna Falkner @falkneac]

#sschat Q3/A1 So often the stories told about school desegregation focus on one or two court cases, and not on the diverse experiences of children and the struggle for civil rights over a long period of time.

[Anna Falkner @falkneac]

#sschat Q3/A3 We love Remember: The Journey to School Integration by Toni Morrison for learning more about this history. Check out the C-span talk (https://t.co/fZxZhaaaKG) and the picture book with great primary sources: https://t.co/RGwkLq55Yi
