"As an organization working to rebuild a national Black Teacher Pipeline, teaching the truth about Black historical and contemporary contributions and experiences is a critical part of developing future teachers and supporting current educators. In the face of policymakers and some educators attempting to ban accurate history, we must take a stand and never whisper justice. Boldly declaring that teaching Black children well is a form of justice means resisting ahistorical narratives. #Juneteenth represents resistance to racial, social, and educational injustice. As Malcolm X said, "Of all our studies, history is best qualified to reward our research!" Our current and aspiring educators, as well as the staff of CBED, must always be students of history to access and benefit from the lessons and insights it provides." - Sharif El-Mekki
