Celebrate Juneteenth With a Commitment to Disrupt the Continuum of Hard History
Learning for Justice is relaunching the Teaching Hard History podcast series with host Hasan Kwame Jeffries, Ph.D., to resist current efforts to erase and alter our nation’s history. As we celebrate Juneteenth, we uplift liberation and Black joy and culture. And we commit to learning and teaching the hard history that is foundational to the United States and the ongoing movement for freedom and equality.
Teaching Hard History begins with the long and brutal legacy of slavery and reaches through the victories of and violent responses to the Civil Rights Movement and Black Americans’ experiences during the Jim Crow era to the issues we face today. This is American history that we all need to know and that should be taught in schools and in communities.
Learn more with the updated Season 1, Episode 1: Slavery and the Civil War, Part 1. And join us each week as we highlight an episode from the series and include a new resource page with essential ideas and teaching recommendations from the conversation and updated resources.

Queer America Podcast
LGBTQ+ people have always existed, but LGBTQ+ history, which is an integral part of the history of the United States, has often been ignored or erased. From Learning for Justice and hosts Leila Rupp and John D’Emilio, Queer America reveals stories of LGBTQ+ life we should have learned in school. This 13-episodes series can help us learn about and teach LGBTQ+ history.
