Read highlights from our work in 2023 — our 15th anniversary — and help us provide more teachers with resources to teach outside the textbook in 2024.

In 2023, we:

• Produced the first-ever Climate Crisis Timeline and a critique of how textbooks lie about Reconstruction

• Provided resources and advocated for the need to teach about Palestine and Israel through the lens of history

• Organized a national day of action to protest the wave of attacks on teaching truthfully — with dozens of groups, including the National Education Association; Teach Rock; GLSEN; Red, Wine, & Blue; Who We Are Project; Learning for Justice; and more

• Developed and updated lessons on Reconstruction, environmental justice, and labor

• Offered monthly “Teach the Black Freedom Struggle” online classes

• Hosted 100 Teaching for Black Lives teacher study groups, bringing our total to 328 in 43 states

• Established the first people’s history teacher leadership fellowship cohort named for education activists C. J. Prentiss and Michael Charney

• Distributed more than 16,000 free books on African American history to schools across the country, including states where authorities outlaw teaching history truthfully

• and more

The right wants to force educators to teach only conservative “patriotic” narratives.

In this perilous time, please

donate to defend teachers’ right to teach people’s history.
