The New York City Civil Rights History Project brings together engaging historical sources with classroom-friendly texts and videos to provide you and your students tools to learn about how New Yorkers have fought for educational justice and against racism and ableism in our schools. At this event, you'll hear from Dominique Jean-Louis, Chief Historian, Center for Brooklyn History and Kaliris Salas-Ramirez, Parent Organizer, Neuroscientist, and member of the Panel on Education Policy, about why this is history everyone needs to know.
