My Summer Homework
✍🏽 WRITING PROMPT
Write a short theme article (500 words) exploring how the Southern Strategy—or a similar system—still shapes how African American history is taught. Use one historical source, one current education law or policy, and one primary Black voice. End with a reflection on your own teaching: What stories do you lift up? What do you leave out? And why?
