During #BlackHistoryMonth, Shuntae Richardson, M.P.A., quality supports specialist for the McCormick Center for Early Childhood Leadership at National Louis University, is already looking ahead to this year’s Juneteenth holiday in June. Richardson suggests that early educators start brainstorming ideas to mark the day in their classrooms or programs, and makes some suggestions to help you prepare to create an enriching Juneteenth celebration, including: >>Visit an African American Museum. >>Meet with staff before and after the visit to discuss what you learned, what you felt, and how you might be able to engage with children and families in gaining a better understanding of Black History. >>Discuss what you have learned or didn’t learn about Juneteenth. >>Create an environment during Juneteenth that allows children to learn while having fun. >>Engage in cultural activities that can help staff and families learn from one another.

“We want to be free without you having your foot on our neck.” - @africanacarrhu Hold up, folks! @btbep.podcast and @africanacarrhu are serving a truth sandwich you NEED on your plate. They’re diving deep into the concept of freedom, and what it means for Black America. Forget “freedom fries” and fireworks. True freedom ain’t about indulging your whims at someone else’s expense. It’s about liberation, about breathing without a knee on your neck. Can there be levels of freedom built on oppression? Is “being free” for some dependent on holding others down? Dr. Carr and Shayna are calling out the BS. #Juneteenth wasn’t about petty freedoms – it was about the right to exist, to thrive, to build a life without constant fear.  #BlackFreedom Parents, students, educators – let’s get real! What does freedom REALLY mean in the context of race? How can we dismantle systems built on oppression and create a future where everyone can breathe easy? Share this post, tag someone who craves a deeper conversation, and let’s redefine freedom together. It’s not about “me first,” it’s about building a world where ALL can rise. #FreedomForAll #JuneteenthUnfiltered #InterrogateYourFreedom #juneteenth #education #blackeducation #juneteenthcelebration #juneteentheducation https://lnkd.in/guDY8u3E
