For decades, the intentional omission and misrepresentation of Black history in America’s public schools have robbed students of an opportunity to learn about the rich past and ancestry of African Americans. As taught in America’s schools, American history is a whitewashed version of this nation’s history with minimal acknowledgment of the countless contributions people of color have made to the development of this country and the promulgation of an identity steeped in slavery. Historical accounts of Black people have been framed from the context of slavery and civil rights while abandoning the rich legacy of African civilizations from which the enslaved were stolen and brought to American shores. BH365 challenges that approach presenting Black history from its place and time of origin – ancient Africa and celebrating the accomplishment of Black people in America. Many school districts around the country are now recognizing the need to include Black history. Several have even passed resolutions mandating the history of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) be included as an integral part of their American history courses. In some instances, students have successfully advocated for these policy changes. Research demonstrates the academic success of Black students increases when they are educated in an environment that promotes and provides culturally relevant teaching and learning opportunities that promote their identities and elevate their awareness about their culture, heritage, and history. The lack of historical content has been a significant influencer of adverse outcomes for black students and communities including lack of self-awareness, lack of self-esteem, lack of intrinsic motivation, decreased academic achievement, truancy, and criminal activity.
