It’s a good time to reflect on the roots of ethnic studies and learn from history. As an educator, how do you make spaces for varied ways of being? Commit to #teachhonesthistory #ethnicstudiies

"An Ethnic Studies futurity in the present" exemplifies learning spaces where youth of color see themselves in learning spaces. These pedagogies bring out the joy of learning in schools. #ethnicstudies #ethnicstudiespedagogiesjournal

Diversity is a the heart of innovation. The multiracial, multiethnic, multicultural, multireligious, and multilingual voices in our communities bring life to a brighter future. They must be included in a liberatory education for all students.#ethnicstudies

All students deserve access to a #LiberatoryEducation. Ethnic Studies reimagines the learning experience to empower students to impact their communities in positive ways through critically examining ideas, assumptions, and experiences. #ethnicstudies #ethnicstudiespedagogiesjournal
