"Christopher Columbus sold hundreds of Indians into slavery in Europe. Hernán Cortés owned hundreds of enslaved Indigenous people, more than anyone else in Mexico."

An infographic for Black History Month titled "Foundation for Change" highlights three core principles for social justice. The first section, Legal ≠ Just, uses a gavel and scales to illustrate that legality does not always equal morality. The second, Progress via Resistance, depicts a raised fist breaking chains and driving an upward-trending arrow. The final section, Action over Symbolism, shows a hand supporting a heavy weight labeled "Responsibility," which outweighs a small "Symbolism" ribbon on a scale. Below these, four pillars support this weight: Serious Education, Listen to Leaders, Active Vigilance, and Organized Resistance.

We know that children thrive when given with the tools to find answers for themselves. No whitewashing. No sugarcoating. Just age-appropriate facts and an earnest willingness to discuss them.

Traci Chee is a brilliant author who capably juggles the stories of over a dozen teenagers coming of age under the worst of circumstances. Written in 2020 We Are Not Free feels especially crucial as liberal democracies flirt openly with authoritarianism in 2025.

Screenshot of an article from The Intercept with the headline: “Trump Is Putting Confederate Statues Back Up. Here’s Why They Must Fall Again.” The subheading reads: “Monuments to racism license racist violence. White supremacists, for their part, know this well.” The byline credits Natasha Lennard and lists the date as August 8, 2025, at 10:42 a.m. Below the headline is a photograph showing a toppled bronze statue lying on its back in the grass, with its pedestal lying sideways beside it. Nearby concrete steps are spray-painted, and the scene appears to be in front of a government or institutional building with trees and shrubbery in the background.

"Pullman was open about his reasons for hiring Black porters; he reasoned that formerly enslaved people would best anticipate and cater to his customers' needs and would work long hours for cheap wages."

Screenshot of blurb from Smithsonian article: "It is a day for poetry and song, a new song. These cloudless skies, this balmy air, this brilliant sunshine . . . are in harmony with the glorious morning of liberty about to dawn up on us." Frederick Douglass December 31, 1862
"On the night of December 31, 1862, enslaved and free African Americans gathered, many in secret, to ring in the new year and await news that the Emancipation Proclamation had taken effect."
