It's the first episode of season two! Today, we are kicking off this new season with an episode dedicated to Black History Month! As many schools prepare celebrations and special programs around this month's heritage theme, I challenge listeners to ask themselves: Is this enough? To help us answer this question and more, I have a special guest Dr. LaGarrett J. King who is the Founding Director of the CARTER Center for K-12 Black history education at the University of Missouri. We discuss the importance of Black history in schools, his framework for Black historical consciousness, and the six principles every educator should embrace when creating more authentic representation of Black historical knowledge in their classrooms and schools. Happy listening!
