Building the movement against racism across classrooms

We are the Ida B. Wells Education Project.

We are a collective of multicultural classroom educators who’ve come together to build the movement against racism in schools and classrooms across the US.

We know that there is nothing neutral about education and learning in America. We aim to teach students about Black history and Black struggle, while celebrating Black culture and life. We will not be silent while racism and bigotry do harm to our students. As teachers, we recognize that we have a crucial role to play in advocating for our communities and building strong, engaged students who can lead powerful, multicultural movements for change.

We are teachers and organizers, leaders in our schools and communities. We launched this organization to share the resources, Black history lessons and anti-racist strategies that we have developed as experts in our field. We are committed to building rigorous, culturally responsive, identity-affirming education for all students.
