    oh I know- had many of those nights for 12 years - now it is filled with Grad School #sstlap
    In reply to @MrAllardSS
  • MrBarry628 Feb 16 @ 9:11 PM EST
    A1: I can't say we celebrate the month, but we discuss their heritage, struggles, & successes over the course of the whole yr #sstlap
  • cheffernan75 Feb 16 @ 9:11 PM EST
    A1 Short answer - so they don't imply stupid things like Fred Douglass is still alive. #sstlap
  • classroomtools Feb 16 @ 9:11 PM EST
    A1 So much of US history involves the torture & exploitation of black Americans. All whites benefit from that. Must know how. #sstlap
  • Chucktaft Feb 16 @ 9:11 PM EST
    A1 #sstlap I'll be honest - we don't do the AA Hist Month, we try to be overall inclusive in the AmStud curriculum - every month @DrLWalczak
    In reply to @DrLWalczak
  • Braz74 - Moderator Feb 16 @ 9:11 PM EST
    I will be honest I dont have a lot of great answers for tonights Qs but think it is a topic that needs 2 be addressed in all schools #sstlap

  • Chucktaft Feb 16 @ 9:12 PM EST
    A1 #sstlap sounds a bit trite and high and mighty, it's how we roll @DrLWalczak
    In reply to @DrLWalczak
  • cheffernan75 Feb 16 @ 9:12 PM EST
    A1 better answer, we have Ss who don't feel like American history is their history. Need to help blend their story in Am history #sstlap
  • Braz74 - Moderator Feb 16 @ 9:12 PM EST
    I may have referenced that in a post coming up.. so yes I agree.. #sstlap
    In reply to @cheffernan75
  • Braz74 - Moderator Feb 16 @ 9:13 PM EST
    A1 We must never forget the way things were so we dont take for granted the way they are now. Acknowledge those who have led us here #sstlap
  • dragonmark_101 Feb 16 @ 9:13 PM EST
    A1: need to take the time year round to make sure we're teaching about all different cultures. I had a parent excited I taught Haiti #sstlap
  • MrBarry628 Feb 16 @ 9:13 PM EST
    A1: I discuss how slaves "built" the US in the 1700s-1800s from tearing down forests to build roads, to farming, to rearing children #sstlap
  • cheffernan75 Feb 16 @ 9:13 PM EST
    I mean. I think that's a compliment! #sstlap
    In reply to @STLinOK
  • N_Davidson18 Feb 16 @ 9:13 PM EST
    A1: As Cdns we don't, but it is crucial to highlight the contributions of all groups so history isn't seen through one view point #sstlap

    You might want to add @kennethcdavis' In the Shadow of Liberty going forward. https://t.co/8mcmcTHQwo #sstlap

    In reply to @classroomtools, @kennethcdavis
  • Mr_OdeMHS Feb 16 @ 9:14 PM EST
    A1 #sstlap in a diverse school setting it's important to recognize that people of all backgrounds matter #LULearns
  • cheffernan75 Feb 16 @ 9:14 PM EST
    it's scary that things like that are said, and never corrected. #sstlap
    In reply to @Braz74
  • MrMoose_History Feb 16 @ 9:14 PM EST
    A1: Its a good time to look/celebrate a group that thas been marginalized in american history, but try to study all year long. #sstlap
  • Braz74 - Moderator Feb 16 @ 9:14 PM EST
    agreed- not just February but all year- my last year my SLO was to do a better job teaching about minority history #sstlap
    In reply to @dragonmark_101
  • jmadlin001 Feb 16 @ 9:14 PM EST
    A1 I don't celebrate the month specifically. We learn abt black history for the 2 yrs I have my Ss. #sstlap

    A1 African Americans built this nation at first through their labor, then then strength, determination and perseverance! Celebrate + #sstlap
  • MrBarry628 Feb 16 @ 9:15 PM EST
    A1: It's bizarre too to think that there's BHM & Women's History Month, when we know as SST's to celebrate al groups ALL the time #sstlap
  • cheffernan75 Feb 16 @ 9:15 PM EST

    yes- without them we wouldn't be where we are- they have been the backbone of a nation that used and abused them #sstlap
    In reply to @MrBarry628
  • N_Davidson18 Feb 16 @ 9:16 PM EST
    It is powerful indeed...many can't comprehend what other groups have gone through #sstlap
    In reply to @ProfGeorgeEdu
  • dragonmark_101 Feb 16 @ 9:17 PM EST
    #sstlap it's also important to build different perspectives into choice, something I know I could have done better on
  • MrBarry628 Feb 16 @ 9:17 PM EST
    A2: We spend quite the amount of time looking at what African-Americans, both enslaved & free, built in this nation #sstlap
  • Braz74 - Moderator Feb 16 @ 9:17 PM EST
    great perspective- I sometimes forget #sstlap is international...;)
    In reply to @N_Davidson18
  • Chucktaft Feb 16 @ 9:17 PM EST
    A2 #sstlap by not marginalizing history of any group, but making sure we look at history with different lenses
  • ProfGeorgeEdu Feb 16 @ 9:17 PM EST
    Capture, early stages of the passage, and suicide of the woman and child. Didn't go too much further than that. POWERFUL #sstlap

  • MrAllardSS Feb 16 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A1 Always add African American experience through curriculum to add perspectives to the curriculum #sstlap
  • classroomtools Feb 16 @ 9:18 PM EST
    Not alone there though (although undoubtedly most abused group over time). @MrBarry628 #sstlap
    In reply to @Braz74, @MrBarry628
  • Braz74 - Moderator Feb 16 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A2 could study past- bio- but now could interview leaders- GHO Skype to bring those who experienced history in to share w/ our ss #sstlap
  • ProfGeorgeEdu Feb 16 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A2: Call upon your resources and amplify your lesson! #sstlap
  • lilostep Feb 16 @ 9:18 PM EST
    A1 I teach in a school w/highly diverse S pop. Including multiple perspectives is key to making the ss content accessible. #sstlap
  • classroomtools Feb 16 @ 9:19 PM EST
    Natives, Chinese, Japanese, Irish, Italians, Jews, and no doubt others - all badly abused/used for a time. @MrBarry628 #sstlap
    In reply to @Braz74, @MrBarry628
  • jmadlin001 Feb 16 @ 9:19 PM EST
    A2 The same way we do all year. Show passion, generate interest, connect to Ss's lives & make it relevant to today. #sstlap
  • Meems852 Feb 16 @ 9:19 PM EST

  • Braz74 - Moderator Feb 16 @ 9:20 PM EST
    A2 ss as historians - find local individuals who experienced history and create documentary- chronicle history before it is lost #sstlap
  • N_Davidson18 Feb 16 @ 9:20 PM EST
    I do my part to advance the Cdn view! :) #sstlap
    In reply to @Braz74
  • MrMoose_History Feb 16 @ 9:20 PM EST
    For my rural WI Ss, try to have students see a perspective (slavery, discrimination, prejudice, etc.) Many haven´t experienced #sstlap
  • Braz74 - Moderator Feb 16 @ 9:20 PM EST
    agreed- which is why we need to teach about injustice so we don't continue to repeat the behavior #sstlap
    In reply to @classroomtools, @MrBarry628
  • cheffernan75 Feb 16 @ 9:20 PM EST
    A2 in world geography it's hard to delve into AA history. But when we cover Africa, I make sure they don't have a single story #sstlap
  • Chucktaft Feb 16 @ 9:20 PM EST
    Gotta run, #sstlap - car duty - would love to see any SS Ts at @WCSS1 conference in March https://t.co/oRtmaATXA2 - I'm on the Pub Trivia!

    I see the same with WH, but it surprises me how few Ss connect the Haitian Rev as part of a broader history to this #sstlap

    they need Lin Manuel Miranda to write about the Haitian Revolution as well. #sstlap

  • lilostep Feb 16 @ 9:24 PM EST
    Stories previously ignored are rising to surface. Place them where they belong in curriculum & Af-Am. history becomes Am. history. #sstlap
  • Mr_OdeMHS Feb 16 @ 9:24 PM EST
    A2 #sstlap in STL, with recents events, racial history is very real for our kids. Need to learn and heal. #LUlearns
  • MrBarry628 Feb 16 @ 9:24 PM EST
    A3: I teach at a Jewish school, so relating slavery to the old testament is important to me & we read A LOT of primary source texts #sstlap
  • cheffernan75 Feb 16 @ 9:25 PM EST
    A4 the hardest topics are the most important! Ss need to be aware of social justice and take action! #sstlap
  • MrAllardSS Feb 16 @ 9:25 PM EST
    A3 Provide Ss with relevant docs, allows Ss to draw conclusion, create/answer questions. Guide do not preach #sstlap
  • STLinOK Feb 16 @ 9:25 PM EST
    A3: History is messy bc humanity is. We only get better by acknowl what needs changing. Easier to do w/ dist so we start there #sstlap
  • ProfGeorgeEdu Feb 16 @ 9:25 PM EST
    A3: to negate teaching these topics is to do world history a disservice. Plus, with all the social issues in 2017 Ss need background #sstlap
  • MrBarry628 Feb 16 @ 9:26 PM EST
    A3: We watch Roots, Amistad, Gone W/The Wind & about 5 other movies/shows to determine what we believe to be the most realistic #sstlap
  • Braz74 - Moderator Feb 16 @ 9:26 PM EST
    agreed- while we can't always get ss to feel what it was like- need to get better understanding of what happened - effects on people #sstlap
    • Chucktaft Feb 16 @ 9:17 PM EST
      A2 #sstlap by not marginalizing history of any group, but making sure we look at history with different lenses
  • cheffernan75 Feb 16 @ 9:26 PM EST
    My Ss will be horrified to discover that their chocolate is harvested by modern day slaves. Tough, but important lesson. #sstlap
  • Braz74 - Moderator Feb 16 @ 9:26 PM EST
    A3 I don't know how you would get ss to understand slavery- but can try to showcase human spirit, perseverance, and triumphs! #sstlap
  • MrBarry628 Feb 16 @ 9:26 PM EST
    A3: We also read over a dozen different passages/texts and examine over 20 images of slavery in America to understand "why" #sstlap

  • classroomtools Feb 16 @ 9:27 PM EST
    Much of their clothing & electronic devices are also produced by near slave, if not actual slave labor. #sstlap
    In reply to @cheffernan75
  • MrBarry628 Feb 16 @ 9:27 PM EST
    A3: Well "slave" comes from "slavic peoples" which at the time meant "other" so make people "other" & see the relevance in history #sstlap
  • Mr_OdeMHS Feb 16 @ 9:27 PM EST
    A3 #sstlap as much as people champion heroes of the Holocaust, we must also champion heroes of the Civil Rights Mvmnt. #lulearns
  • MrMoose_History Feb 16 @ 9:27 PM EST
    Helps students understand current movements and context. Had Ss once say about BLM ¨Should they have gotten over slavery by now¨ #sstlap
  • Braz74 - Moderator Feb 16 @ 9:28 PM EST
    yes that was my focus my last year- teach so many of those POV and events to get my ss to see whole pic #sstlap
    In reply to @classroomtools, @MrBarry628
  • jmadlin001 Feb 16 @ 9:28 PM EST
    A3 I always have an ess ques. "Does slavery exist today?" We study slavery in U. S. then connect w/ slavery today. Ss are shocked. #sstlap

    #sstlap excited to join my first chat from St. Louis! #lulearns

    A4: I think the best example of teaching the struggle to success are people like Cl. Thomas, S. Truth, Pres. Obama, & John Lewis #sstlap
  • lilostep Feb 16 @ 9:31 PM EST
    A3 Studying Holocaust, Af-Am S wanted to know why white ppl were killed. What does that say about the human's capacity for hate? #sstlap
  • STLinOK Feb 16 @ 9:31 PM EST
    A4: It seems so simple, but I start with food - SO MUCH of what we consume is a blend of African and regional items #sstlap

    A4: Have to preface the idea that all events in history involve effort and struggle. ALL cultures are beautiful and we can learn #sstlap
  • Braz74 - Moderator Feb 16 @ 9:31 PM EST
    yes yes yes. And efforts may take long time but will force change. And those who resist risked a lot #sstlap bravery
