ALT Image of Secretary Haaland with quote that reads: Today’s decision is a welcome affirmation across Indian Country of what presidents and congressional majorities on both sides of the aisle have recognized for the past four decades. For nearly two centuries, federal policies promoted the forced removal of Indian children from their families and communities through boarding schools, foster care, and adoption. Those policies were a targeted attack on the existence of Tribes, and they inflicted trauma on children, families and communities that people continue to feel today. Congress passed the Indian Child Welfare Act in 1978 to put an end to those policies. The Act ensured that the United States’ new policy would be to meet its legal and moral obligation to protect Indian children and families, and safeguard the future of Indian Tribes.

Despite her prominence, Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor and her work were completely excised from the revised February 2023 Official Framework.
ALT In honor of International Women's Day and Women's History Month 2023, AAPF is uplifting Black women scholars and authors whose works were erased last month by the College Board in revised plans for the new Advanced Placement African American Studies course. These women, and their contributions to Intersectionality, Black feminism, and Black studies, are vital to our understanding of history, society and justice. In an open letter released today at bit.ly/NoErasure, we recommit to the fight against global censorship and demand that the College Board restore these critical scholars and ideas to its AP African American Studies Official Framework.
