Freedom Summer 2024: Teaching the Youth about Our Truth

The miseducation of Black students and the disinvestment in Black education in America is an ongoing historical battle. Community organizers and over 50 organizations formed the Freedom to Learn network, which is organizing Freedom Summer 2024 to help combat continuous oppression and suppression within the education system. Educational toolkits and lesson plans offered by the Zinn Education Project, SNCC Digital Gateway, and Civil Rights Teaching are available online. Supporters can use the hashtags #TeachTruth, #FreedomToLearn, and #FreedomSummer2024 on social media to start meaningful conversations and spread the message.
