Teaching Hard History
What we don’t know about American history hurts us all. Teaching Hard History begins with the long legacy of slavery and reaches through Reconstruction, Jim Crow, and the civil rights movement into the present day. Brought to you by Learning for Justice (formerly Teaching Tolerance) and hosted by Dr. Hasan Kwame Jeffries and Dr. Bethany Jay, Teaching Hard History brings us the lessons we should have learned in school through the voices of scholars and educators. It’s great advice for teachers and good information for everybody.

False friends
This program completely erases the Jewish contribution to the civil rights movements. Like the SNCC, SLPC was founded, funded, and lead by Jews. And just as the Young Militants kicked Jews out of the SNCC, the neo-Young Militants at the SPLC are kicking Jews out of their own history.
