A four-week, virtual institute for 30 middle and high school teachers on the overlooked histories of African American women.

This virtual, four-week summer institute endeavors to take 30 educators who teach grades 6-12 on an interactive, interdisciplinary search through literature and multiple archives in order to reckon with curricular and historical erasures of Black women. The project seeks to illuminate the under-represented contributions of Black women as individuals and their collective agency that directly shaped our nation.
