Teaching about slavery in schools and doing it well isn’t just about teaching the harshness of slavery. And educators can make 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.)
