While schools and communities become increasingly diverse, every student’s history should be represented in education.
The benefits of learning one’s history are tremendous.
By equipping young people with knowledge of their own histories and the power to tell their own stories, we’re sparking academic and personal gains among students. This growth and achievement stems from positive identity development, improved self-confidence, and increased engagement in school.
A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.
– Marcus Garvey
