Black History Month Isn’t Enough. Teach Black History as American History Year-Round

February is Black History Month. Are you planning on teaching the same way as in previous years, highlighting a few Black authors and discussing the same Black people from history? To move toward a more inclusive and equitable society, it is time to move beyond these old methods and move toward teaching Black history as American history.

You can use the month to help students learn from history and move forward with new stories, creations, and experiences. From there, you need to keep integrating Black history through your year-long curriculum.

Equity expert Michael Lowe will share five ways to celebrate American history from the perspective of people of color throughout the year. You will learn how to use and move beyond Black History Month.

What We'll Cover
