NCSS is proud to celebrate #Juneteenth National Independence Day! Officially recognized in 2021, our newest federal holiday marks the date of June 19, 1865, when emancipation was enforced for the last enslaved African Americans by the Union Army in Galveston, Texas.
In observance of #Juneteenth, the VCEE office will be closed. Juneteenth commemorates the announcement of the abolition of slavery in Texas on June 19, 1865, and more broadly, the emancipation of enslaved African Americans throughout the South. REFLECT | HONOR | CELEBRATE

🧵Useful article by @s_e_schwartz explaining how/why social studies (& science) have been marginalized in elementary schools. This issue is well-understood among social studies educators, and many of us have been advocating for years to fix it. How?
