Elevating Civil Rights Learning and Black History Program
Elevating Civil Rights
Have you ever wondered, "Why do I vote?" Join us in exploring the Civil Rights Movement through a teaching project aimed at fostering change. 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.
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 enable critical thinking about ethnicity and behavior, allowing us to reflect on ourselves, establish respect for differences, appreciate uniqueness, and avoid replicating the actions of those who oppress us. Critical race studies provide a pathway to liberation.
