Teaching about slavery in schools and doing it well isn’t just about teaching the harshness of slavery. And educators can make #Juneteenth about so much more than the end of slavery.

Today’s holiday offers abundant opportunities to teach about what it means to fight for freedom and maintain a sense of self-determination in the face of oppression.

@TheConversationUS @histodons I agree the curriculum needs to be updated, but are many schools even in session still? (At least in places not like Utah with it’s awful “year-round” system.)
