Friend,
Florida’s Board of Education just approved new Black history standards to teach public school students that enslaved Black people benefited from slavery. This is disgusting white supremacy, and we cannot allow it.
In response to this and other attempts to censor discussions of racism in schools, we must urgently pass policies to teach the truth.
Rep. Al Green’s Slavery Remembrance Day Resolution denounces the institution of slavery while commemorating the millions of people who were stolen from Africa and sold as property. It calls for an annual Slavery Remembrance Day on August 20, marking the first day that enslaved Africans arrived in the United States in 1619.
If passed, Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s African American History Act would invest $10 million over 5 years in the National Museum of African American History and Culture to support African American history education programs that are voluntarily available for students, parents, and educators.
In solidarity,
Rashida.
