JOIN US AND SUPPORT NYS AMISTAD LEGISLATION
MANDATING THE TEACHING OF BLACK HISTORY IN NEW YORK STATE SCHOOLS 

Why Educators, Families, Students and Citizens Need NYS Legislators to Pass Amended Amistad Law, Amistad Bill (A01939)
Carter G. Woodson founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (ASNLH)  in 1915 in Chicago, describing its mission as the scientific study of the "neglected aspects of Negro life and history."
Under Gov. Ron DeSantis’s “Stop WOKE” law — which would limit students and teachers from learning and talking about issues related to race and gender — Florida is at the forefront of a nationwide campaign to silence Black voices and erase the full and accurate history and contemporary experiences of Black people.
Advocacy meeting with New York State Assemblyman Michael Benedetto, Education Committee Chair and leaders of Westchester Alliance of Black School Educators, Coalition for Understanding Racism in Education, New Rochelle NAACP and the Black Student Coalition.
