Elevating Civil Rights Learning and Black History Program
Elevating Civil Rights
African Americans have played a crucial role in advocating for change against oppression, racism, enslavement, and segregation, both in the United States and worldwide. Understanding this history is essential for defining our fight for justice, facilitating dialogue, valuing ourselves, healing, and recognizing the cost of ongoing struggles—freedom is never free.
Our community education program, "Elevating Civil Rights Learning and Black History," aims to raise awareness of the Black and African American cultural movement for change through non-violence, music, art, and behavioral approaches for children, youth, and adults. We achieve this by examining key terms, exploring historical figures, teaching the truth, and revitalizing our Civil Rights Movement. By sharing our history from our perspective, we help others envision hope and work toward change in the face of oppression.
These perspectives foster critical thinking about ethnicity and behavior, encouraging us to reflect on our own actions, respect differences, appreciate uniqueness, and refrain from mirroring the behaviors of those who oppress us. Critical race studies offer a pathway to liberation. Critical race theory not only embraces various ethnicities but also analyzes their relationships and the impact they have had. This analysis is not meant to criticize, but rather to provide examples.
Published in 2024, *Putting the Movement Back Into Civil Rights Teaching* is a resource book that showcases the power of the people through a diverse array of stories, perspectives, essays, photographs, graphics, interviews, and interactive, interdisciplinary lessons. Liberating yourself with Critical Race Studies examines human existence in the context of social, political, and technological transformation to foster coexistence among all people.
We offer our program through a variety of engaging methods, including storytelling, podcasts, celebrations, interactive learning, social media platforms, and an active online presence. Our "About Martin Luther King Jr." Coloring Book program runs from September to December. Through this program, your child will learn more about Dr. King, Civil and Voting Rights, and the late founder Ovide Duncantell Jr.
To schedule a representative to discuss Civil Rights and Black History with youth, teenagers, or adults, please call our office at (281) 4005-0006. Additionally, youth aged 11-16 can earn volunteer hours by participating in selected events.
After attending our "Elevating Civil Rights" learning sessions, participants can also register to vote, as we will have a Voter Registrar on site. Remember, your vote is your voice!
