As we go about our day in Omaha Public Schools, let us pay tribute to the first people of this land and ensure that they are included in the narrative of our schools' past, present, and future.

We will forever fight the good fight. We will always get into good trouble. We will continue to defeat that which aims to defeat us. We will relentlessly seek the justice that you taught us to yearn for because life without it is not life. Your spirits are evergreen.

Today is Juneteenth—a day for celebration and remembrance that should be part of our collective knowledge of freedom struggles in this country. May our educators and youth continue the fight to ensure that the promise of freedom is delivered.

Educators! This conference is online for 2020 and has been some of the most influential PD I've done two years in a row. @DrLaGarrettKing and his team have challenged me and taught me and made me a better ELA educator and human.

#OTD in 1870, the 15th Amendment was adopted, saying the right to vote could not be denied "on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." These resources from @ZinnEdProject help explain its context and complex history of enforcement. zinnedproject.org/materials/…

Today is the first day of Black History Month. This month—and all year—we're calling on educators to celebrate the liberation, civic engagement, creativity and intersecting identities of Black people. This is why.

When an assignment asking children to set prices for enslaved people went viral, we saw another example of teaching slavery in a way that dehumanizes its subjects and harms our students. We must do better. Here's how we can start. #HardHistory tolerance.org/the-moment/dec…
