How to change how we teach history
Following the killing of George Floyd, another wave of racial reckoning swept across the United States and reignited efforts to change how people of color are treated in this country.
This has included the removal of Confederate statues and raised — again — questions of how we remember and learn about the history of this country and whose stories get told.
On Thursday at 9 a.m., MPR News host Kerri Miller spoke with a historian and an education policy scholar about how to improve history education for students and teachers and incorporate anti-racist curriculum.
Guests:
Julian Hayter is a historian and professor at the University of Richmond’s Jepson School of Leadership.
Leslie Fenwick is an education policy and leadership studies scholar who served as dean of the Howard University School of Education for nearly a decade.
