National History Day is proud to share the first edition in our Moving Freedom Forward series. This edition focuses on African American history. It is a collection of essays and lessons designed to help teachers engage with current historical scholarship and practices. The goal of the series is to offer teachers access to cutting-edge scholarship, resources for research, and model lessons to show how to engage students with this content in the classroom.

This publication is generously supported by the 400 Years of African American History Commission and the Bezos Family Foundation.
