Teach the Truth of the Tulsa Race Massacre

On May 31, 1921, white supremacist terrorists attacked the Greenwood community in Oklahoma, killing up to 300 Black residents and burning over 1,000 homes. We don’t know the exact number: For too long, the history of this and other acts of racist terror across the United States were intentionally kept quiet. We urge you to teach the truth about Tulsa and other hard histories. These resources can help.

Moses Rifkin

Moses Rifkin is a high school physics teacher in Seattle, Washington. Learning how to teach science in a way that supports social justice is hugely important to him, and the positive steps he has taken towards this as a co-creator of the Underrepresentation Curriculum are something he feels very proud of. As a white cis-gender male teacher working in independent schools, he is particularly interested in helping those with privileged identities—including himself—to understand their privilege and the role they can and must play in working for social justice.
