On Monday, February 10, historian Justene Hill Edwards, in conversation with Teaching for Black Lives co-editor Jesse Hagopian, will discuss Edwards’ book, Savings and Trust: The Rise and Betrayal of the Freedman’s Bank, a comprehensive account of the Freedman’s Bank and its depositors.
Well-researched, brilliantly analyzed, and compellingly told, Savings and Trust brings to life the dramatic expansion of America’s racial wealth gap with a focus on Black resourcefulness and trust and white betrayal and plunder during Reconstruction. — Kidada E. Williams, author of I Saw Death Coming: A History of Terror and Survival in the War Against Reconstruction
This class is in the Teach the Black Freedom Struggle series. Read what teachers say about the sessions.
Every Zinn Education Project session not only impacts my teaching, but unravels the damage done by whitewashed histories. You give me more tools to educate my students and make me a better teacher today. — social studies teacher, Kansas City, Kansas
