We share stories for Veterans Day, an announcement for our job opening, an invitation to our next Teach the Black Freedom Struggle online class, and the latest issue of Rethinking Schools magazine.

On this Veterans Day, we share a collection of stories about African American veterans who fought in various wars — yet upon their return to the United States, they were murdered in the fight for democracy and human rights.

Come work with us in D.C. While the communications role is behind the scenes — website updates, data tracking, materials production, website management, and social media — it has an impact on students and teachers in classrooms across the United States.

On December 6, we host Jarvis Givens, author of Fugitive Pedagogy: Carter G. Woodson and the Art of Black Teaching, in conversation with Jesse Hagopian and Cierra Kaler-Jones.

Today's assault on critical race theory and antiracist pedagogy by the right-wing is unintelligible without the insights offered in Fugitive Pedagogy. Givens tells inspirational stories of Black educators who faced down intellectual abuse and physical violence. They created counter-narrative curriculums — “a literary genre inaugurated by runaway slaves . . . Black curricular imaginations of the post-Emancipation era . . . informed by a fugitive literary culture with antebellum roots.”

The fall issue of Rethinking Schools features Renée Watson and Linda Christensen on using poetry to deeply ground the curriculum in students’ lives.

In another feature article, Zinn Education Project team member Cierra Kaler-Jones describes her work with young Black women to gather loved ones’ oral histories.

The fall editorial highlights individual and collective resistance to right-wing anti-history education legislation.

There’s also an article by high school teacher Jessica Rucker about putting the hip-hop industry on trial. And there’s more.
