From NOVA Education:

In many K-12 education settings, the United States is lauded as a country of great opportunity and economic mobility. However, to engage US history truthfully and accurately means we must interrogate how the US history of violence and exploitation helped generate its economic foundations. These realities shape the lives of our students, and the landscapes of our schools. In this talk, combining poetry and history, Dr. Clint Smith will help crystalize how this history has shaped the contemporary social, political, and cultural context of our world today — specifically our schools — and how to talk about it with your students.
