Today I stand for the #FreedomToLearn Black history from Black authors #wpunj #wpaws #wpwgs #wpcsjs #DefendBlackStudies #teachtruth

The content of the 1619 project has allowed me to truly reach across color & [political] party lines in my work and move towards a future that's truly equitable. What is equity if we are not free to learn the truth of what has created inequity. We must protect the #FreedomToLearn

"Too often the bitterness of suffering racism and intersecting oppressions produces a harsh narrative. This book managed to dig deep into the obvious yet hidden history of how racism is in the foundations of America & managed to do it in a way that gave me hope. " #FreedomToLearn

A truly comprehensive education tells the full story and encourages that we pass those stories on. We deserve an inclusive education that tells our stories from our point of view! #freedomtolearn #wpunj #wpaws #wpwgs #wpcsjs #DefendBlackStudies #teachtruth

"The struggles of gender & ethnicity are very real things & knowing that I wasn't the only woman who had to deal with societal oppressions was eye opening & I am not sure I would have succeeded if I kept thinking I was alone in the world. Cisneros showed me that I was not."
