Freedom Schools at the African American Museum

WMD Branch ASALH DFW

Saturdays JULY 27 – SEPT. 21, 2024 from 3-5 p.m.

Freedom Schools will offer participants an opportunity to learn about African American history as part of a national effort to counter state legislatures’ attempts to prevent the teaching of accurate African American history in public schools.

At a time when schools are limiting the teaching of African American history and libraries are pulling books off shelves, the African American Museum is launching a Freedom Schools series on Saturdays running from July 27 to Sept., 21 and October 26 to December 28, 2024.

The curriculum will focus on the following topics: African history; African American historiography; the African American experience in slavery, colonial and antebellum America; the experience of African Americans in the Civil War and Reconstruction; Harlem Renaissance; Civil Rights Movement; African Americans and the arts; Black politics; local history; and the Nadir of American Race Relations.
