Episode 1: Tools for Anti-Racist Teaching

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Our lives, our cultures, are composed of many overlapping stories. Novelist Chimamanda Adichie tells the story of how she found her authentic cultural voice -- and warns that if we hear only a single story about another person or country, we risk a critical misunderstanding.

Understanding how school discipline policies can contribute to the school-to-prison pipeline is essential for educators and families. Harsh punishments, automatic out-of-class time and police involvement for discipline can push young people out of classrooms and into the criminal legal system. But educators, parents and caregivers can help to change this harmful system by advocating for and implementing practices that prioritize mental health and well-being.

We offer this new resource page that highlights LFJ articles and content to open dialogue, shift practices and foster change to benefit all young people.

5: 'We Know It When We See It'

This episode contains strong language.

Chana has traced the history of the school from its founding and come to the present. But now: One unexpected last chapter. Last year, the school district for BHS mandated a change in the zoning process to ensure all of middle schools will be racially integrated. No longer can white families hoard resources in a few select schools. Black and Latino parents have been demanding this change since the late 1950s. The courts have mandated it. Chana asks: How did this happen? And is this a blueprint for real, systemic change?

Episode 5: The Land of Our Fathers, Part 2

Oct 11, 2019 · 38 minutes

The Provosts, a family of sugar-cane farmers in Louisiana, had worked the same land for generations. When it became harder and harder to keep hold of that land, June Provost and his wife, Angie, didn't know why - and then a phone call changed their understanding of everything. In the finale of "1619," we hear the rest of June and Angie's story, and its echoes in a past case that led to the largest civil rights settlement in American history.

On today's episode: June and Angie Provost; Adizah Eghan and Annie Brown, producers for "1619"; and Khalil Gibran Muhammad, a professor of history, race and public policy at Harvard University and the author of "The Condemnation of Blackness."

Educators are acutely aware of the impact of systemic racism and the inequities that exist in the education system. Because of this, we are uniquely positioned to create immediate, positive change in the fight against anti-Black racism.

In this four-part series, we will explore tools for anti-racist teaching and will consider the ways in which we can use media and media literacy to deepen our understanding of systemic racism. Wherever you are in your social justice journey, this series is designed to introduce you to curated anti-racism resources, support your own learnings of anti-Black racism, help you discover innovative ways to integrate media into inclusive teaching practices, and show you how to amplify your Black students' voices and experiences. By attending, you will reflect on your role in systemic oppression within education, and leave with new tools and ideas for creating lasting change in their classrooms.

We are part of a movement: a widespread promise to our families and our neighbors that we will be ongoing, engaged participants in civic actions designed to root out racism, end police brutality, amplify, honor, respect and remember Black Lives Matter.

PBS will provide a certificate of attendance for each one hour virtual professional learning event.

Deepening Your Understanding of Race and Racism
July 21 @12 PM ET
As educators, we have a deep responsibility to confront racial injustice, and ensure that we create anti-racist classroom environments. This includes our own ongoing reflection and learning. In this one hour event we will explore the role media plays in our collective understanding about race and racism, and how educators can use media to disrupt white supremacy and systemic oppression of Black people in America. This is a live event, so you will have the opportunity to ask our guests questions. Come prepared for a rich, deep, and honest conversation that will not only help you gain a deeper understanding of the roots of systemic racism, and how anti-Black racism impacts our daily lives, but also guide you as you reflect on your own role and responsibilities as an educator.

Using Media to Know Better, Teach Better

July 23 @12 PM ET

When conversations of racial injustice and equity arise, many educators find themselves reacting in the moment, without being prepared for these important conversations. In this series, we'll introduce steps you can take to be proactive, starting with a focus on media literacy. In the second episode of our four part series, "Tools for Anti-Racist Teaching," we'll explore ways in which you can use media to know better and teach better. The current media landscape is oversaturated, and it's sometimes hard to analyze which resources are best, especially around topics of racism and oppression. This conversation is designed to help educators analyze and evaluate media, and provide important context so you can meaningfully shape your anti-racist classroom planning and practices. We'll also focus on ways in which you can use these media literacy tools to empower yourself and your students to change classroom and personal practice.

Picture books are a great way to start conversations about how citizens can take action to make social changes. This list of picture books about protest will be timely no matter when you read them. Many of these books put protests and civil disobedience in historical context and are a great reminder of the way defiant actions have shaped who we are today.

It is my hope that these children's books about protest will help you talk to your kids about current events, and draw parallels between the present and the past. Teaching your kids to look at all sides of an issue will help them learn compassion for others. They will understand that being a responsible citizen may sometimes require them to protest injustice. As always, I'd love to hear your own recommendations. (Note: covers and titles are affiliate links.)

Swimmy by Leo Leonni is a classic picture book you have probably read already. ( If not, you need to get on that.) You might not expect to see it on a list of books about protest but it fits right in. The tale is about how little fish join forces to fight off the big bully fish. However, story also demonstrates that one can still be an individual, even while banding together with others in pursuit of a common goal.

A is for Activist. A board book that's not just for babies! With a fun sense of humor, this alphabet book introduces kids to the idea that life may not be all about acquiring the latest Thomas Train. I was worried this book would be annoyingly didactic, but the rhymes and wit make this introduction to social justice a worthwhile read. The book teaches generosity, compassion, consideration for others. Use the book as a starting point for further discussions about the topics. Counting on Community is the companion book which turns a simple counting book into an inspiring call to action.

Harvesting Hope: The Story of César Chávez by Kathleel Krull. I'm quite a fan of illustrator Yuyi Morales, which is why I chose this particular picture book about civil rights leader Chávez. The biography begins with Chávez as a young boy, who was "not a fighter," and follows him as his family leaves Mexico during the drought. When they arrive in California the family experiences the hardship, racism and brutal treatment rained down on migrant workers. Chávez was roused to take action and organized a 340 mile peaceful protest march on behalf of farmworkers.

Separate Is Never Equal: Sylvia Mendez and Her Family's Fight for Desegregation tells the story of school desegregation 10 years before Brown v. the Board of Education. In 1944, Sylvia's family moved to a new community. When she tried to attend school, she was told that she would have to go to "the Mexican school". Sylvia and her family fight back and eventually win a very important court battle, setting the stage for future desegregation cases. This is a great book to teach our kids that segregation extended beyond the Jim Crow laws of the South.

Boycott Blues: How Rosa Parks Inspired a Nation. When reading these books I was amazed at how much I had forgotten since high school civics class. I am quite embarrassed for myself. Pinkney's book tells the story of how the African-American community walked for 382 days rather than ride the segregated busses in Montgomery, Alabama. The rhythmic text and vibrant illustrations, which themselves appear to move beautifully capture the spirit of the amazing individuals who brought change to their community and the nation.

How to overcome our biases? Walk boldly toward them

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Our biases can be dangerous, even deadly — as we’ve seen in the cases of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner, in Staten Island, New York. Diversity advocate Vernā Myers looks closely at some of the subconscious attitudes we hold toward out-groups. She makes a plea to all people: Acknowledge your biases. Then move toward, not away from, the groups that make you uncomfortable. In a funny, impassioned, important talk, she shows us how.
