How BRI is Honoring Black History Month
Bill of Rights Institute
BRI teaches civics. We equip students and teachers to live the ideals of a free and just society.
An update from the Bill of Rights Institute:
Schools across America are honoring Black History Month.?
We’ve been proud to support them with high-quality resources, including classroom-ready lessons, interviews with leading scholars, and even videos to help them with their homework.?
Thanks to generous support from people like you, we are always able to offer these resources free of charge to educators and students.?
Black History Month has also been an opportunity to reintroduce educators and students to our The Plainest Demands of Justice curriculum, which incorporates six sets of primary sources to help students investigate Black history from our nation’s Founding to present day.?
Students have the opportunity to explore the writing and speeches of key historical figures like Frederick Douglass and Martin Luther King, Jr., and to learn about efforts like the civil rights movement that demanded America live up to its Founding principles of freedom, justice, and equality.
We encourage you to sample some of these resources and share them with an educator or young person you may know:
