Affirm that Black History is American History

From the National Museum of African American History and Culture to your local library, we must galvanize the country to understand that “Hands Off Our History” is vital to the broader movement to protect our lives and save our government.

We’re supporting our partners at the African American Policy Forum and the Freedom to Learn National Week of Action with this campaign to encourage people like you to write letters to the editor supporting African American History and Culture.

We made it easy to write a letter to the editor of your local paper.

Then, click to share this campaign on Bluesky, Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, and Threads.

Organizing in defense of the Smithsonian, especially the National Museum of African American History and Culture, is not just an important symbolic gesture. It is at the heart of the fight for democracy itself.

Now is the time to show the public that we must stand up for civil rights, for the accurate accounting of history, for our books, our voices and our lives.

The Freedom to Learn is the Freedom to Live.
