Civil Rights and Community Leaders Address Governor Youngkin’s Whitewashing of History
WASHINGTON – The Leadership Conference Education Fund, NAACP, and People For the American Way today held a telephone press briefing to launch the Black History Is American History campaign, an initiative to elevate the central role of Black history in America’s history and push back on the whitewashing efforts of Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin. The speakers called for parents and educators to use Governor Youngkin’s so-called “tip line” to voice their support for an inclusive curriculum and teaching that provides students with the accurate information they need to lead a diverse Virginia into the future.
