Join the African American Policy Forum for the 3rd Annual Freedom to Learn Day of Action. The current administration’s attacks on education are just the beginning.

Take your child(ren) or a friend to visit your city’s Black History museum or your local library’s Black History section. Take a selfie on location and post it to your favorite social media platform using #HandsOffOurHistory. More info and posters.
May 12
In Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future, Jason Stanley exposes the ways authoritarian regimes manipulate historical narratives to maintain power. Stanley demonstrates how attacks on education and historical memory support authoritarianism, undermining public understanding of past struggles for justice.
By showing how history is weaponized to advance political agendas, Stanley underscores the importance of preserving historical truth as a safeguard against authoritarian rule. Stanley doesn’t just diagnose the problem — he also offers strategies to resist these attacks, from advocating for historical literacy to supporting educators under fire. This free class is in preparation for the 5th annual Teach Truth Day of Action. Register.
