#OnThisDay in 1966, thousands of Seattle Public Schools students skipped school for the second consecutive day, protesting the racial discrimination in the system. For students who missed school, the organizers created Freedom Schools, which taught African-American history and the importance of civil rights, neither of which was in the Seattle Public Schools' curriculum. Reflecting on movements like these reminds us that acknowledging history’s difficult truths empowers future generations to advocate for justice and equality. ➡️: tr.ee/PlanYourVisitToNCRM #LearnFromThePast #StrongerTogether #CommunityOverChaos #RepresentationMatters
