Teaching the Truth is geared to the Higher Education professor who challenges and prepares pre-service teachers to rethink how they teach history to young children. African American history is a major part of American history and must be centered in the early childhood curriculum.

Teaching the truth about our history to young children is essential in our quest to dismantle racism in the United States. Pre-service teachers must reconceptualize teaching history to young children by teaching the hidden histories of our nation so that young children can challenge their own biases and assumptions created by a white supremacist society. Teaching the Truth: Uncovering the Hidden History of Racism with Young Children counters the recent narrative that African American History should be whitewashed instead centering it in the early childhood curriculum. Topics covered in this book include: the institution of slavery, Reconstruction, Jim Crow era, The Great Migration, Segregation of schools, Civil Rights and Voting Rights, Police Brutality and Black Lives Matter.

Miriam Tager is associate professor of Early Childhood Education at Westfield State University in Massachusetts.
