Don't start from Slavery and don't end with MLK! Love it!
Thanks bro!
Thank you
Agreed, Black people's history is not just Slavery but these people are also misrepresenting Slavery. They were more attacks against Black people under the FREE SYSTEM than under Slavery.
A word
We need more fearless and radical black teachers in support of Black History 365.
I like "We are all 99.9% alike". That's how I'm going to start.
Excellent information. I can´t wait to watch and learn more.
Revolts, resilience, resistance! I hear you. I’m going to go back to this after Black history month and I’m going to correct this.
I am full of gratitude. Thank you SO very much.
Revolts, Resilience and Resistance. I love it! That's how it should be done.
I love this. All school districts should follow this model.
Absolutely wonderful advice! Thank you! We are in the middle of a project now, but I am excited to revamp my entire lesson plan thanks to your advice. Thank you for this insightful perspective. i love and appreciate it as a teacher greatly! :)
Thank you for sharing this! Even though I homeschooled my kids until 6th grade, I still feel like I want to make sure I bring in great resources for all of us as a family to educate ourselves with.
For others, not the OP really: I’m only a sub for TK-12 but I played Kolton Harris’ video Black Joy and a video about music history titled “Music History is Black History” every time I’ve subbed in Feb (4th and 5th lately) because I’ve always been uncomfortable with every book and movie being about slavery during this month in my experience and how little schools discuss modern issues but more importantly because of videos like this. I’m not doing a lot, I know, and I can only work on my biases and racism and micro-aggressions since I’m only subbing here and there and not long-term (so I have limited influence), I’ve still been trying my best for the past few years. So even if we only play a small part in a kids life, we can still try our best and follow the advice of this amazing educator. 💗
Thank you so much for sharing this advice! I really appreciate hearing your perspective as a parent and teacher about the do's and don'ts, and some of the resources you're using in your classroom.
Fabulous recommendations, dead on with what teachers need to hear right now! Thank you!!!
Thank you, Elaine! Thank you for your leadership, your advice, your strong voice, and for all of these additional resources. I love that you are teaching beyond your classroom walls...we all benefit
Thank you. :-)
Thank you for sharing these ideas! This has helped me frame my lessons connected to Black History Month. We are currently reading the novel Bud, Not Buddy and will be studying the history of American jazz and West African music.
Thank you for sharing!! I love the point about teaching from the perspective of resilience and joy.
You are so welcome! amzn.to/3cOYcqx
The 3 R’s are something serious!!! That advice is priceless. I’ve never heard anyone else say that, but it makes so much sense. Thank you!!! I look forward to your next video on this topic. Little known fact: I am from the county that Nat Turner lead his revolt. Just a month ago they finally renamed a road that was called Blackhead Post road to serve as a reminder that on that road is where they put his head on a post to scar other blacks not to try and do what he did. Some of the off springs of the people he killed are still there and for years they held in their personal collection the weapon he used as well as his Bible. I think they ended up donating it to the county, but they are still in control of it.
Wow.
Thank you!!! This was posted on our Mom's group. And thank you for the direction and to help us navigate our way to telling the story as one of empowerment.
Thank you so much. This is important for me to learn. I need more to be a better human, mom, friend, teacher, and neighbor. The librarian is stoked you for remind others to check resources and where they got their resources.
This is so great! Can’t wait to see what you publish next. Thank you
THANK YOU! This is really good! It's so great to openly talk about this topic, and I so much appreciate this insight!
I love this learning lesson. I appreciate the advice and will practice it and continue to learn more. Yay teaching!
thank you!! great video........ unfortunately I am a music teacher and am focusing on some of the great black musicians, but I plan on sharing this video with coworkers who are teaching other aspects of black history month.
This is excellent! You did an amazing job of explaining the trauma of teaching cultural perspectives from an uninformed perspective. Thank you for sharing ideas and resources for ways teachers can first educate themselves before sharing with others. There are books and videos out there at every level.
Yes. Thank you. I just want to minimize the trauma.
Great stuff! Exactly what I was searching for: where to start and what not to focus on during my lessons this month.
Happy to help.
Thank you for sharing this!! I'm hoping to be as open and supportive as I can with my work!
Thank you for this. It is so important to know how to begin! Thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Love this! Thank you! We are a homeschooling family and I was searching for the direction I wanted to go. This was helpful. I just finished traumatizing, I mean teaching, my kids about WWII and the Holocaust and really wanted a more happy history month after all we learned. Teaching my children resilience and courage is important and so we watched documentaries and movies that also showed how ordinary people overcame and risked their lives to help others. I will do the same when we talk about slavery. I’m excited to learn with my kids. We have so much more room to explore things that aren’t discussed in most classrooms.
Enjoy the journey and yes remember to focus on joy and resilience in all of the lessons.
Thank you for sharing your perspective. I’ve been attempting to cover recent Black History topics with my son. Some things are heard like broken records in school and that change begins with me, as a parent, at home.
You are welcome.
Wow. Thank you for sharing this, I appreciated this so much. I have been teaching BHM for many years and you have challenged me to think about how/what I teach and the best ways to share information that is correct and fair.
I am so happy it is helpful.
Deep Gratitude for this!! I am listening and also sharing it with the teachers at my school. LOVED "We are all 99.9% alike"!
Thank you for this video! I love the resources (and look forward to more) and the knowledge gained! Thank you for helping educators stay educated!
You are welcome.
thank you ! inspiring and potent.
I cannot thank you enough for this. I’m homeschooling for the first time & definitely didn’t want to skip Black History month but was unsure what approach I should take & how best to make the most of the opportunity. I have tears in my eyes.... You are awesome.
We ARE 99% alike❤️
Aww thank you. I have been looking through the comments and they are not all positive this made me happy. :-)
Thank you for taking the time and energy to offer this wisdom and advice.
It’s been about time that we really continuing to expand our history beyond February.
Straight talk that resonates and is so relevant. Thanks for the 3r's and solid advice.
I am so glad I came across this. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this advice! I have been trying to find a way to address all of this with my students without traumatizing them. (And I agree 100%!)
Glad it was helpful!
Elaine, this is great!!
Sending you love from Merion Elementary School.
I know its late bit i just have to say THANK YOU!! I am a mother of mixed children and as a person who grew up listening to americas history as its taught out off a 'SYLLABUS', I just want to say especially thank you, for giving us a way to look at all of our history, different, and preparing my children to be the most amazing, beautiful Human beings that could ever set foot on this Earth, of course there my children so I think that, but we have tried to find a solid ground to teach them what their history really is, without having to get into books or chapters because that's where things get construed, and we've never wanted that, we've always told them history that we know. OUR history that we were taught by our parents , history that has been passed on to us, information that has crossed from generation to generation, even so much is such a great grandfather telling their great grandchild that they, no matter what, can ever be in war because military does not treat black people correctly, or morally. that's the type of thing that I want my kids to understand. you are helping to the CORRECT THE SYLLABUS, you are amazing and i am grateful. thank you for everything that you do, there's very few people that would extend a hand to help or even look beyond what the situation is, to give advice, and give actual examples. I appreciate it so much because I never wanted my children's ideals of their history to be started off with anything but GREATNESS!!!!! You are loved, and bless you.
I could not agree with you more. I am an occasional teacher and every black history month, I teach in a number of classrooms and the books are aways focused on the oppression of black people-segregation, slavery,etc.
Reading these stories leave a dark cloud when there is no balance. If I feel his way imagine how the few black students feel. Our history includes so much more than slavery or the civil rights movement.
I always conclude each reading with triumph and resilience as you mentioned.
This video is consistent with my thinking. Thank you:)
This is wonderful! Thank you for your perspectives.
Thank you!! This is so helpful! I appreciate your REAL advice!
Thank you for sharing your wisdom! I look forward to learning more from you and the resources that you use in your classroom.
More to come!
This!!!! Thank you so much for providing the guidance to get this crucial lesson of our country correct.
You are welcome.
Thank you so much for this perspective. I'm a music teacher and have been thinking about all the things you talked about in your video. I really appreciated your recommendations and resources.
Just found your channel looking up resources for Black History Month. You're amazing! Thank you for your clarity and your advice, and also your nice reading voice.
You are welcome.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for this. Sharing with my school community.
Awesome.
Thank you! I truly appreciate your thoughts and suggestions!
Love this! Thank you. Ordering both books now.
Wonderful!
This was so helpful and I so appreciate the specific suggestions and language to use etc. Thank you!
Thank you for asking educators (twice) to think beyond just exploring the accomplishments of athletes and entertainers. We as a people are so multi-faceted!!!!
You are welcome. Yes, we are.
You're amazing! We've all learned and have seen the wonderful strides taken by our black communities and we stand in awe of the strength, joy and resilience they have! We all can learn from the black example and all of the blessings that black people are. Slavery and white supremacy are not the go to, core lessons, they are important but secondary. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Thank you for this video! And... thank you for the resources. Just purchased the two books mentioned for my classroom. Will read them on my own when I receive them. :)
I love this! I’m using this to convey to others. Perfect ! Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you for watching,
This was such a thoughtful and informative explanation of how to do it right in the classroom. I'm inspired and see myself going down a rabbit hole of your videos!! Thank you for sharing!
Enjoy.
Thank you for taking the time to do this!
Thank you for watching.
Thank you for giving me some perspective!
You are welcome.
I love that! "Did you know we are 99.9% alike! What an engaging hook"✨✨✨! You have amazing strategies on how to present this vital info to kids🙌🏾
Thank you. I want to show first and foremost that we are so much more alike than different, everything else is a lie.
Friend, you did a super job explaining what people should do and not do. I love the point about how we are more alike.
Thank you for checking it out. I appreciate it.
Thank you for this video. I was seeking black teacher’s perspectives on this. Thank you for sharing.
You are welcome.
Thank YOU! Thank you for this video. I am only a teacher assistant in a self-contained classroom for students with autism, and we are simply following the curriculum provided right now. I am excited to start my re-education in this area. I am excited to learn more, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting a video for those of who don't know exactly where to start / what to do. I have plans to teach in the future (down the line), but I have subscribed to your channel and will be on the lookout for more great videos. Thanks again.
teacher assistants, especially SpEd assistants are ESSENTIAL.
Thank you! So informative and helpful.
Sharing with my elementary team. Thank you!
You are welcome.
Thank you for this! I have been teaching Black History topics for 25 years but have made some mistakes. I have been reading lots in the last year and have learned so much. THANK YOU! God Bless!
You are welcome. We all have made mistakes as educators. As long as we grow and learn and choose to do different that is what matters.
Thank you so much for this! I am a music teacher and am going to take this to heart. Please make more videos!
th-cam.com/video/kDXerubF4I4/w-d-xo.html. I also created a video specifically about Africa.
Thank you so much for your perspective and advice! As an educator, I’ve always tried to share and celebrate Black history with my second grade scholars, but I haven’t always felt like I’m coming across as authentic. You’ve given me some concrete steps to make it better for all (my own children too) and I’m excited to get started. I would welcome any additional advice or recommendations! Thank you for what you do!
You are welcome!
Thank you so much for giving resources and a perspective that many of us want to focus on but may be unsure where or how to get started.
You are welcome.
Wonderful tips!
Thank you for this video. It is so helpful and I will be taking your advice to make Black History Month an authentic and honest learning experience for my students and my own children. Have a wonderful day!

Thank you for posting!
You are welcome.
Thank you for this wonderful video! I am a new homeschool mom and needed this guidance! Thank you thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this video. Very informative and I love the reminder about how alike we are. I have been researching more about black history and have learned about a lot of wonderful people.
Thank you! Took notes and value the input! I would love a list of books you especially like... I wrote down the two you showed. And...I have watched 13th on Netflix three times and am adding to my notes and research to make sure that the myriad issues are addressed with my students. Thank you. Looking to do the work.
Glad it was helpful! amzn.to/3cOYcqx
Thank you so much for this video.
Thank you so much for this!
You are welcome.
This was so helpful! I'm going to teach differently because of this.
Thank you for making this incredibly helpful video. I never thought about how a parent of a Black child would feel anxious as schools begin Black History Month. I also love the reminder to not begin with slavery. I continue to learn from you!
:-)
You hit some crucial points in this video! Wow! Love it
Thank you.
Great information for all teachers!! Thanks for sharing the books. My students are focusing on inventors and black women in science.
Yes, we are too. I usually do the Africa unit in November. Then this month we will focus on African American scientists and inventors as well. I just wanted to get it out there to think differently.
thank You so much for the helpful information, I didn't know where to start, but your video has made it so much easier for me teach my 2nd graders about Black history.
There are books suggestions in the more section up top.
Thank you so much for this. I'm homeschooling for the first time this school year, and I was so lost before this video...
Glad it was helpful!
More educational videos please! This is wonderful and so helpful

Thank you! Will do!
This was awesome, thank you so much!!!
