Hosted by the Carter Center for K-12 Black History Education
at the University of Missouri College of Education
Carter Center’s Annual Teaching Black History Conference brings together educators who seek transformative and engaging ways to teach PK-12 Black history in both history and humanities courses. Teachers gain tangible strategies to incorporate in their classrooms that focus on content and pedagogy, active learning, support and collaboration, and instructional approaches.
Mark your calendars for the 2021 Teaching Black History Conference! This year’s conference will honor the men and women of Tulsa’s Black Wall Street (coined by Booker T. Washington) as well as other Black communities that gained economic independence along with those who were victimized by racial violence.
The Ida B. Wells Education Project is proud to announce that we will be presenting a workshop at this important event, entitled: "Shine the Light of Truth Upon It": Teaching Young People About Black Resistance to White Supremacist Violence.
