Founded in 1821 in the heart of Washington, D.C., Gonzaga is a Catholic college preparatory school for boys in grades 9-12.  Teacher Ed Donnellan and his students helped answer a student question about the connection between enslavement and their school... and they found a lot of answers that then led to changes in dialogue within their school community.  The work went far beyond the academic and straight into the hearts of many.  You don't want to miss this story.

"Just because you don't know it doesn't make it controversial."-- wise words from this week's guest, Valencia Abbot, who is continuously pursuing new historical knowledge through research as well as ways to hone the art of teaching.  In this episode, Valencia teaches us new and deeper ways to teach about Black history, talks to us about professional development to continue to improve our craft, and also shares her research about Griggs v. Duke Power Company (1968).  She really helped me think in new ways, and I know she'll do the same for you!

Black history month is in February, but we should be celebrating and teaching Black history all year long.  In this episode, I briefly talk about Black Wall Street, which was in the Greenwood section of Tulsa, Oklahoma.  I didn't know about Black Wall Street until a couple of years ago (!), and if you haven't heard about it, I hope that I'm helping you learn something new and then teach your students something new by telling you all about it.  You can also learn more by visiting:
