This Week: In solidarity with the Zinn Education Project and educators across the nation who are pledging to teach the truthful history our students deserve to know, and resist the white nationalist push to enshrine white supremacist mythology in the curriculum, Manuel and Jeff share historical sites that highlight the importance of teaching truth in the classroom. Jeff shares his experience in Fort Snelling State Park in Minneapolis, a site of massacre, imprisonment, and forced displacement of the Dakota people. Manuel shares his experience at UCLA’s Campbell Hall, the site of the murder of Black Panther leaders Bunchy Carter and John Huggins and the FBI’s COINTELPRO efforts to decapitate movements for Black liberation.
