Dr. Smith remembers his education "...schools were not equipped to give me a set of tools to understand the world around me." #FHOnline
Teachers and educators can play a vital role in helping students be more civically informed and engaged.
“I’ve been taught how perfect this country is. But no one told me pages were ripped out of my textbook...Oppression doesn’t disappear just because you decide not teach us that chapter.” From @ClintSmithIII poem History Reconsidered #fhonline
“The world is socially constructed. It can be deconstructed and reconstructed. It is made up of systems that can be dismantled and created.” - Dr. Clint Smith #fhonline
