As we approach the 6th anniversary of the Teach the Black Freedom Struggle series of online classes with people’s historians, we invite you to share a story or testimonial about the impact of any one or a combination of the classes.
We are most interested in hearing how you have applied what you learned from one of the classes to your own teaching — or a testimonial about the impact of one or more of the classes. The more specific the better. For example, did you write a new lesson or adapt a lesson based on the history shared by one of the presenters? Has the series served as professional development? If so, how?
The full list of Teach the Black Freedom Struggle classes includes Clint Smith on How the Word Is Passed, Jeanne Theoharis on King of the North, Kellie Carter Jackson on We Refuse, Eve Ewing on Original Sins, Justene Hill Edwards on Savings and Trust: The Rise and Betrayal of the Freedman’s Bank, and dozens more.
In appreciation for your story or testimonial, we′ll send you one of these books by scholars from the series:
