It was not peripheral to our founding; it was central to it. It is not irrelevant to our contemporary society; it created it. This history is in our soil, it is in our policies, and it must, too, be in our memories.
And one way this foundational history enters our memories is through the classroom. This is work for all of us — to create, to share, to teach. Below are lessons, discussion questions, and writing prompts, which take students more deeply into Smith’s brilliant book. As Smith suggests, one cannot understand the history of the United States without focusing on the centrality of slavery — and this history is essential to helping our students make sense of the world around them.
Republican legislators in at least 42 states are offering the country a lesson in How the Word Is Suppressed. Proposed legislation takes aim at a host of curricular initiatives, approaches to understanding society (e.g., critical race theory), and organizations. What unites these measures is a determination to keep students from studying how slavery and exploitation based on race are fundamental to our lives today.
Teaching an accurate, honest, critical history is an act of resistance
