throughout this nation who want their students to better understand the history behind the economic and social disparities so evident in their communities ... and the ways every day Americans have long fought to make America live up to its ideals.
But the ideas that these demagogues decry so stridently are not new. Civil rights advocates, civil libertarians—and courageous teachers—have been discussing these same ideas for generations. We know this because we still hold living memories of the words spoken by Septima Clark,
Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, Ella Baker, John Lewis, James Forman, Fannie Lou Hamer, Harriette Moore, James Farmer, Vincent Harding, Howard Zinn, Bob Moses, and so many others. All forthrightly organized against the systemic, structural, and institutional racism
that has shaped American history and crippled American lives for generations. To all the courageous teachers who won't back down from teaching their students the truth, we stand with you. We know you risk much in this struggle—with threats to your jobs, safety,
and your right to teach the truth—just as so many in generations past risked their lives and livelihoods in the long struggle for democracy. But ... together we will win, because we must. Future generations depend on our standing strong ... together!
