Let’s meet some of the people fighting to ensure history is not rewritten.
Voting rights leader @MsLaToshaBrown gave us a history lesson in U.S. voting laws and why Black women have always been the ones to get sh*t done.
As the fight over critical race theory threatens Black history, @ProfJeffries breaks down the importance of teaching “hard history” and why he's betting on students to see through the lies.
