A dumpster full of books prompts Chicago educators to create new lessons on Asian American history, nuclear power @MilaKoumpilova @chalkbeatCHI chicago.chalkbeat.org/2022/8/29/2332…
A first-in-the-nation Illinois law requiring schools to teach Asian American history goes into effect this fall. These Chicago teachers crafted a curriculum that pushes middle schoolers to think critically about the country's rise as a nuclear power. chicago.chalkbeat.org/2022/8/29/2332…
I still remember that night. It was one of the most painful moments during the #WeAreNTA fight that I almost felt powerless. But those students immediately kicked my butt. Their fearlessness to stand up for justice reminded me that we had to keep fighting again and again.
Student-led activism was what drove the movement to protect NTA and it's the topic at the heart of tonight's panel – tickets still available at flow.page/light-shine
In one day, @LightShineDoc opens @filmcenter. @ABC7Chicago previews the film celebrating a community fighting for more than just their beloved elementary school. abc7chicago.com/let-the-little…
