## Caption

When students see themselves reflected in the curriculum, they thrive.
 
According to the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network (GLSEN) Research Institute, LGBTQ+ students in schools with an inclusive curriculum were: less likely to feel unsafe because of their sexual orientation, missed fewer days of school, experienced lower levels of victimization based on their sexual orientation and gender expression, performed better academically, and felt a greater sense of belonging to their school community compared to students in schools without an inclusive curriculum.
 
This #BlackHistoryMonth—and all year long—you can incorporate these pioneering figures into your classrooms.
