A6. Personal oral histories can be so powerful. And schools are a natural place to introduce all justice-related topics. Nearly every family has a connection to it and every student is in some ways living the aftermath. Learn the history and the questions ask themselves! #sschat
We also HIGHLY recommend this issue of Social Studies and the Young Learner on teaching Black History socialstudies.org/social-stu… featuring the work of @DrLaGarrettKing @queendomteachin and more! #sschat

A3. I find that the complexity and nuance of perspectives within Black community is often missing. Not an unusual absence unfortunately.

#sschat Q6/A1 We have used oral history projects as a means of engaging inter-generational conversations.
Smithsonian How to Oral History: siarchives.si.edu/history/ho…

Q6: How might we use local desegregation stories to engage in intergenerational conversations about educational equity and inclusion? #sschat
Q5: What resources have you used to learn about local history in the past? Who might be useful to help you learn more about your local school district’s history? #sschat
#sschat Q3/A1 So often the stories told about school desegregation focus on one or two court cases, and not on the diverse experiences of children and the struggle for civil rights over a long period of time.
#sschat Q3/A3 We love Remember: The Journey to School Integration by Toni Morrison for learning more about this history. Check out the C-span talk (c-span.org/video/?181729-1/r…) and the picture book with great primary sources: google.com/books/edition/Rem…
#sschat Q3/A4 Other picture books which help tell the diverse stories of school desegregation are I Am Not a Number, by Jenni Kay Dupuis, Separate Is Never Equal: Sylvia Mendez & Her Family’s Fight for Desegregation, Duncan Tonatiuh, & The First Step:
by Susan E. Goodman
Q4: What resources would you need to teach local stories about school desegregation? What sociohistorical context could you include in the curriculum? #sschat
Q3: What are the stories about desegregation that are often told in schools? Whose perspectives are included? Whose might be missing? #sschat
We have some local tours that explore Black history in Memphis that I've thought would be incredible for a new teacher tour #sschat atopmemphis.com/
