For years, the @UofSC’s Center for Civil Rights History and Research has offered training programs to K-12 educators, exposing them to aspects of civil rights history through primary sources, lectures and historical site visits. @UofSCCRC @AnyaBonnette @mrsohbrienpkms

Our @NEHgov Institute on Reconstruction with @UofSC_CIHE and @UofSCEducation isn't only about history content, but also about the strategies K-12 teachers can use to teach this content. Today @DrTMP talked about using primary sources to teach white supremacy & Black resistance.

The country lost a hero last night. The movement lost an icon. And I lost a personal friend. But I do believe that as the sun set on John Lewis’s life last night, the sun rises on a movement that will never die. Thank you, John, rest in peace my brother.

John Lewis: “Be hopeful, be optimistic. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. We will find a way to make a way out of no way.” May he rest in power.

I will always remember this day. On June 17, 2015, these nine innocent lives were taken at Mother Emanuel AME Church in Charleston,SC in a despicable act of hatred. Today, we all honor the 'Emanuel 9,' five years later. ❤🙏🏾

The library profession suffers from a lack of racial and ethnic diversity. In 2018, just 6.8% of librarians identified as Black. We can all affirm that #BlackLivesMatter and ensure that the profession is welcoming and equitable. bit.ly/2MEonC7
