Expert: Few US Schools Teach Black History Well Poor materials and lack of rigor keep schools from offering rich lessons on the African American experience, an education policy expert argues.
As the United States marks Black History Month this year, more K-12 schools in the United States are teaching Black history than ever before. However, ongoing analysis from Johns Hopkins University finds these efforts often fail, because coursework emphasizes the negative aspects of African American life while omitting important contributions made by people of color in literature, politics, theology, art, and medicine.
