Black History Past and Present: Theoretical and Practical Considerations for Teaching and Learning Black History
Mon, April 11, 10:00 to 11:30am, Marriott Marquis, Floor: Level Two, Marquis Salon 16Session Type: Symposium
Abstract
A century ago Carter G. Woodson and colleagues developed a systematic Black history curriculum for Black schools in the early 20th century. These efforts formed the K-12 foundation for Black studies, multicultural, and Afrocentric curriculum. Today, Black history is part of the K-12 educational lexicon yet research contends that the subject is marginalized within U.S. history. Thus, this session will explore 1) contemporary Black history through educational policies, curriculum and instruction; 2) new theoretical approaches to learning and teaching Black History. This symposium encourages educators to reimage the theoretical purpose of Black history with the intent to further develop classroom practices and teacher education in social studies.
