  • Defend Black History with Rashad Robinson
    Defending the right to learn about our country’s full history naturally includes defending the right to learn about Black history. As certain politicians seek to ban books by Black authors and ban courses that teach the truth about the Black experience in America, we are fighting back to ensure all students have access to an honest education.
    One of NEA’s partners in this work is Color Of Change, a racial justice organization committed to building power and making justice real for Black people. Today’s guest, Rashad Robinson, is the President of Color Of Change.
