Nominate your favorite educator or community leader for a Color Of Change #BlackHistoryNow Award!
Do you know a teacher, student, parent, or community leader who has taken a stand against the right-wing's vicious anti-Critical Race Theory movement? Help us honor them at Color of Change's first ever #BlackHistoryNow Award Show by nominating them, today!
We've seen it spread across the nation like wildfire: the anti-CRT movement has been threatening, reprimanding, and firing educators who insist on teaching the full history of this country. They are passing legislation that criminalizes the discussion of basic facts about race and power in the classroom. They are banning books that center Black lives from our libraries and public education curriculums. But our communities are fighting back.
That's why Color Of Change is hosting its #BlackHistoryNow Award Show — to honor the people in our communities who are working to defend the truth in our education system, often at great risk to their livelihoods and physical safety. From students who are standing up to their school's administration to demand that they see themselves represented in their curriculums, to educators who have been refusing to teach anything less than the truth, even when it costs them their jobs, these community leaders refuse to back down. Does that sound like someone you know? If so, will you help us celebrate their courage and integrity by nominating them for a Color Of Change #BlackHistoryNow Award, today?
