Multiple studies show that African-American, Latino, and Native American students view history with repugnance. Children of color only perform marginally worse than whites in mathematics but perform much worse in history. This is because many of the textbooks still in use today were originally written during times of gross racial injustice. Based in our nation's capital, “Getting History Right” will be a program aimed at developing a comprehensive number of activities that effectively communicate with and engage students.
