“In the discussion, there was a request for more information about curriculum reform and taking local action to spur it. As I said in our meeting, if the next generation doesn’t learn this history any better than present generations have done, it will be in as poor a position to remedy it as we have been.

You may find this material useful that The New Movement to Redress Racial Segregation (links to a Google Form to sign up) is distributing for high school teachers, because all of your NACCD colleagues live in school districts that can be pressed to teach the history of racial injustice more accurately.

Other racial justice groups have such material as well:

• For a brief, eight-minute summary of talks about how segregation happened, see this: https://www.facebook.com/NowThisPolitics/videos/270363507375249/
   
• See the 17-minute animated film, “Segregated by Design” (free)  https://www.segregatedbydesign.com/
   
• For a high school curriculum unit to teach this history, see (free with registration to receive all materials): https://www.zinnedproject.org/materials/how-red-lines-built-white-wealth-color-of-law-lesson
