Center for K–12 Black History and Racial Literacy Education
Teaching Black History Conference
The Teaching Black History conference is our signature program. Each year, the conference convenes hundreds of teachers to learn the best curricular and instructional practices surrounding Black history education. We will have featured speakers and entertainment, but the stars of the conference are our teachers. Each conference session is led by a classroom teacher who shares their Black history strategies. The sessions are interactive, so participants will have hands-on experiences to bring to their classrooms.
Conference attendees love Black history. We welcome community educators, parents, school-aged students, librarians, museum curators and anyone who loves to learn about Black history. The conference can be held face to face, virtually, or in a hybrid format. Attendees are eligible for 24 professional development credits.
The 2023 conference theme is The Sounds of Blackness, Hip Hop Turns 50.
The connection of hip hop, its culture, and its relation to pedagogy are useful in Black history education. Black history is not simply teaching about skin color; it's more complex than that. It explores Black people's humanity, including their history of oppression, agency, emotions, inter and intra contentions, Diasporic similarities and differences, social histories, and futures. Like Black history education, hip hop education is about the consciousness-raising of society that is often left to the margins. Hip hop is Black history, and we look forward to bringing together hundreds of educators worldwide to learn about Black history and hip hop intersects.
