It’s time to take action. . . . again.
Last summer, teachers rallied across the country at historic sites to speak out against anti-history education bills and to make public their pledge to teach the truth. The teacher-led rallies received national media attention, providing a valuable counter-narrative to the oversized coverage of “anti-CRT” protests at school board meetings.
The situation is urgent. The lessons the right seeks to suppress are the very ones we need today.

Race, Empire, and Revolution
in the Borderlands
|
|
On Monday, June 6, 2022, award-winning historian Kelly Lytle Hernández will speak about the magonistas, a group of agitators who challenged Mexican dictator Porfirio Díaz in the early 20th century.
Did you know that:
|
|
Their cross-border insurgency, launched from U.S. soil, was a landmark revolt against the U.S. empire and the suffocating power Anglo-Americans held over Mexican lives.
Pursued by the nascent FBI, the rebels wrote in secret code and organized thousands of workers to their cause.
