As Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month begins today, we encourage you to incorporate AAPI voices into your curricula now and all year long. These resources offer useful context and recommendations. learningforjustice.org/the-moment/apr…

It's the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa Race Massacre. Decades of advocacy helped raise awareness and the need for resources around this critical and tragic chapter in U.S. history. These books can help you start engaging this history with young readers. bcbooksandauthors.com/the-tulsa-race…

"We cannot reach—or teach—our students without knowing them. When a student is celebrated for exactly who they are, they know they have permission to not just be somebody—but to be the very best version of themselves." #Pride learningforjustice.org/magazine/in-de…
