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…

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.

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

Proud @LightShineDoc is part of the 2022 @truefalse Film Fest and @SXSWEDU !! Our film tells the story of a high achieving elementary school that's a beacon for Black children - until gentrification threatens its closure.
