A new, free tool will allow for the study of more than 350 treaties alongside important historical context. Try using these primary documents to better understand and teach Indigenous history. https://t.co/JyJ4YXZSoI

Calling all educators: Scrap whatever work packet or online lesson that isn’t related to #GeorgeFlyod or #BreonnaTaylor & teach for Black lives!

I coedited “Teaching For Black Lives” to give you the lessons & resources you need to rise to this moment.

This is what I've been working on the last several days. If you're a journalist or know of one who has been assaulted, arrested, had equipment damaged or seized, or has otherwise had their First Amendment rights violated while covering protests across the country, let me know.

schools are more than sites of direct instruction!! 👏

[Beth Abell @tc_bethabell]

I have lots of thoughts about *why* this is happening, but the blame shouldn’t be fully on educators. The routines/systems/problem-posing that creates authentic learning experiences isn’t being replicated in asynchronous online meetings. So what do? 🤷🏻‍♀️ https://t.co/MRvZRpKRnw

#NYUHistory Professor @ellennoonan has put together Historians Respond to Covid-19, a website to try to keep track of it all: https://t.co/ELMKVRdRqK

Please submit any projects you're working on and share widely with colleagues around the world who might be doing the same.

It's not a virus that's killing more Natives, it's a system that has made them more disposable and unseen. I have yet to see a media outlet accurately *count* Indigenous people, let alone mention accurate rates of infection and death. Basic math says it's vastly undercounted.

COVID deaths per 100,000 in NYC, by race (data as of April 6):

Hispanic: 21.3
Black: 23.1
White: 15.7
Asian: 9.1

And after you adjust for age:

Hispanic: 22.8
Black: 19.8
White: 10.2
Asian: 8.4

[Beth Abell @tc_bethabell]

I can’t see the data about racial disparities in covid-19 cases as anything less than class warfare mixed w racial bias.

🚨Don’t pretend the medical community has invested time/$ into understanding black bodies. Don’t pretend that the majority of “essential workers” aren’t poc.

The only endorsement that matters 👏

[Kimberlé Crenshaw @sandylocks]

I voted for @ewarren today b/c she listens to Black women, understands that “Economic justice has not ever been sufficient to ensure racial justice,” admits mistakes, is a tough broad, and b/c we now see how not having a leader w/ a plan costs lives. https://t.co/RHIMCN6TE4

Today is the start of #BlackLivesMatterAtSchool week of action! This action has been one of the most meaningful things ever to happen in my life. It’s been exhilarating to help launch this in Seattle in 2016, see Philly teachers expand it to a week of action, & now it’s national!

Anyone know if the pro-union inflatable rat on 120th and Broadway is for the Seminary or TC? ���

Ok, so I'm finally watching the Chomsky and Foucault debate and I have lots of questions but mainly why is there so much orange juice?

[Beth Abell @tc_bethabell]

would this list look similar or different in the education field 👀

(lots less hobsbawm, lots more dewey, freire, and gramasci I bet)

[Barbara Keys @arakeys]

Most cited authors in History, 2005-2010: remarkable how similar this list is to what it would have been in 1990.
