On May 31, 1921, white supremacist terrorists attacked the Greenwood community in Tulsa, Oklahoma, killing hundreds of Black residents and burning homes. For too long, the history of this and other acts of racist terror across the United States was intentionally kept quiet. We urge learning and teaching the truth about Tulsa and other hard histories.

Today, we are reminded of the organized efforts to recover that history and demand reckoning and remembrance.

Revisit this 2022 LFJ article on how teachers are trying to teach this history:

Public schools play a crucial role in democracy, providing the literacy, critical thinking skills and common-good values essential for participation in the democratic process.

Understanding why public schools matter as a common good for our communities and nation is vital to countering efforts — such as the push for school vouchers — to undermine the public education system.
