Teaching the truth about our history to young children is essential in our quest to dismantle racism in the United States. Pre-service teachers must reconceptualize teaching history to young children by teaching the hidden histories of our nation so that young children can challenge their own biases and assumptions created by a white supremacist society. Teaching the Truth: Uncovering the Hidden History of Racism with Young Children counters the recent narrative that African American History should be whitewashed instead centering it in the early childhood curriculum. Topics covered in this book include: the institution of slavery, Reconstruction, Jim Crow era, The Great Migration, Segregation of schools, Civil Rights and Voting Rights, Police Brutality and Black Lives Matter.
This is Book 2 in the Race and Education in the Twenty-First Century Series. See all Race and Education in the Twenty-First Century books here.
