Black History Is U.S. History: Ask Us About Freedom Schools

During the month of February, Teaching for Change promoted the importance of teaching Black History all year with Ask me about: Freedom Schools commemorative buttons. Why Freedom Schools? Teaching for Change advocates for the type of learning and pedagogy used in Freedom Schools. Why the buttons? Because Black History is U.S. History and should not be reduced to the few names and events that are recycled in classrooms and the media every year during Black History Month. 

Make a donation to Teaching for Change and receive this one-of-a-kind button commemorating Freedom Schools and the importance of teaching Black History all year long.

For a gift of $10 or more, receive your very own Ask me about: Freedom Schools commemorative button. Each button comes with a brief description of these schools for liberation so you can share your knowledge with others.

Help us give teachers and parents the tools to teach Black History and multicultural education every month of the year -– not just in February. Donate today!
