Book Description
This book aims to transform how Black histories are taught in the K-12 curriculum by emphasizing instruction through Black voices rather than about them. Using LaGarrett King’s Black Historical Consciousness framework, each chapter provides a structured, inquiry-based lesson plan incorporating primary sources, and some examples of engaging student activities. The book gives educators the tools to challenge biased narratives and create inclusive lessons that help students think critically, build empathy, and better understand Black histories.
