Teaching centering liberation
This collection includes resources from Teaching to Thrive by Dr. Bettina Love, Sustaining Racial Justice in Learning by Dr. Jamila Lyiscott and Cultivating Genius at Home by Dr. Gholdy Muhammad. These are provided as a lens through which to teach about Black History Month, recognizing that it is harmful to teach Black History solely based on narratives of pain, suffering, violence, and trauma. While it is imperative to teach about the realities of racial oppression, it is just as important to engage students with the many ways Black people have consistently and powerfully resisted oppression, displayed genius and embraced joy.
