In celebration of Black History Month, we offer a new resource page. From articles and publications to videos, lessons and stories, we’ve collected some of our best resources to help you learn about and elevate Black history in all of its complexity. Whether you’re building your own knowledge, looking for ways to expand your teaching of Black history, or celebrating stories with your family, we hope you’ll use these resources. Young people deserve to learn this history in ways that are accurate, comprehensive and age appropriate.

International Holocaust Remembrance Day is commemorated on January 27, the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in 1945. We honor the memory of the 6 million Jews and the millions of Roma, Sinti, Slavs, disabled persons, LGBTQ+ individuals, political dissidents and others who were murdered in the Holocaust. And we encourage learning from the survivors as we reflect on the significance of this history.

As the anniversary of the January 6 insurrection approaches, we are reminded that democracy requires regular practice from all of us, and media literacy is vital to that practice. We offer our first new resource of the year, our Media Literacy Resources page, which provides guidance for introducing these essential skills to children and young people.
