Zinn Education Project | Erasing the Black Freedom Struggle: How State Standards Fail to Teach the Truth About Reconstruction This national report was released on January 2022 as a part of the Zinn Education Project’s Teach Reconstruction Campaign. It represents a comprehensive effort by the Zinn Education Project to understand Reconstruction’s place in state social studies standards across the United States, examine the nature and extent of the barriers to teaching effective Reconstruction history, and make focused recommendations for improvement. Using its Reconstruction standards as a guide, the Zinn Education Project examined course requirements, frameworks, and support for teachers from 2019 to 2021. It also included stories about creative efforts by districts and/or individual teachers in each state to teach outside the textbook about Reconstruction. A 44-page PDF of the report is available for download at this link. Visit the website for archival materials, additional links to education materials, and an interactive web version of the report.
Equality Labs | Anti-Doxing Guide for Activists Equality Labs is a transnational South Asian feminist organization working at the cutting-edge intersections of organizing, art, and digital security to end caste apartheid, gender-based violence, Islamophobia, and religious intolerance. It is composed of artists, advocates, healers, technologists and organizers working on intractable systems of oppression through a collaborative solution-making model for movements. Since Equality Labs published its first anti-doxing guide in 2017, the practice of doxing has evolved dramatically. Its team team wanted to revisit this topic and give communities the opportunity to take digital security into their own hands. Equity Labs hope that this guide will encourage and prepare you to build a comprehensive safety plan within your communities. It has created this anti-doxing guide to support activists around the world who may be targeted for resisting white supremacy, Islamophobia, casteism, antisemitism, anti-LGBTQ+ harassment, or any form of authoritarianism. Read the guide below, and see its website for more research and publications. ADVANCE-COPY_-EQUALITY-LABS-ANTI-DOXING-GUIDE-FOR-ACTIVISTS-3.0
Densho | Map of Japanese Incarceration Sites In 2005, Densho launched Sites of Shame, which immediately became one of the most visited sections of its website. But after a decade or so, due to both changes in the technology and new information about the sites, it became clear that the original website had become increasingly outdated. In 2017, Densho received a federal Japanese American Confinement Sites grant through the National Park Service to update the site. This was followed by grants from California Civil Liberties Public Education Program and the Kip Tokuda Memorial Washington Civil Liberties Public Education Program. This new version of Sites of Shame launched in 2021. The interactive map contains information, locations, and ephemera pertaining to sites of incarceration. Users can also trace the journeys of specific families. For more information on the map and data sources, visit this link. Learn more about the history of the incarceration at Densho.org

Scene on the Radio | Seeing White Just what is going on with white people? Police shootings of unarmed African Americans. Acts of domestic terrorism by white supremacists. The renewed embrace of raw, undisguised white-identity politics. Unending racial inequity in schools, housing, criminal justice, and hiring. Some of this feels new, but in truth it’s an old story.

Scene on Radio host and producer John Biewen took a deep dive into these questions, along with an array of leading scholars and regular guest Dr. Chenjerai Kumanyika, in this fourteen-part documentary series, released between February and August 2017.

Bush signed a law that designated May 1990 as the first Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, much of Asian American history remains unknown to many Americans—including many Asian Americans themselves. To help fill the knowledge gap, TIME asked historians and experts on Asian American history nationwide to pick one milestone from this history that they believe should be taught in K-12 schools, and to explain how it provides context for where America is today.
