“The world is socially constructed. It can be deconstructed and reconstructed. It is made up of systems that can be dismantled and created.” - Dr. Clint Smith #fhonline

“I’ve been taught how perfect this country is. But no one told me pages were ripped out of my textbook...Oppression doesn’t disappear just because you decide not teach us that chapter.” From Clint Smith poem History Reconsidered #fhonline

Dr. Smith remembers his education "...schools were not equipped to give me a set of tools to understand the world around me." #FHOnline Teachers and educators can play a vital role in helping students be more civically informed and engaged.

“This is an intergenerational fight and it always has been” _ Clint Smith. Dr. Clint Smith thank you so much for this impactful and powerful conversation! #fhonline
