The new conversations around racism and police brutality in light of the recent protests over the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and others have caused new interest in learning about Black American history, especially in the education system.
Now, Urban One, the country’s largest distributor of urban content, is teaming up with Black History 365 to create a new Black history curriculum in honor of Juneteenth.
Black History 365: An Inclusive Account of American History is a new K-12 curriculum for schools around the country to offer a comprehensive review of Black American history that is often not taught in the standard U.S curriculum.
The Black History 365 curriculum helps address those concerns, and more importantly, it closes the gaps and ensures that the next generation is educated about our history.
The new curriculum will include history dating back to ancient African civilizations through today including stories from across the diaspora to teach the new generation about the cultural roots.
