45 Days of Action - Shreveport, a local group of organizers and social activists are calling for Black History to be mandated by law to be taught in our public schools in Shreveport, LA. Our goal is to demand justice for our communities and having the proper historical education in the right context is vital!

Shreveport is 56.4% Black and the educational curriculum should represent history in a way that represents this reality. Black History is much more than slavery! There are pioneers, doctors, lawyers, architects, astronauts, engineers, and many many more.

The current climate of America is calling for change. We are calling for change!

1. We are calling for Caddo Parish School Board to implement Black history into all American History courses.

Our children will perish for a lack of knowledge. This history incorporated into  ALL history courses will help combat the systemic disparities in the educational system. We must educate all students of the contributions of Black Americans.

Please sign this petition in solidarity with us! We need your support.
