Loving Day
Loving Day
June 12, 2021
https://www.thoughtco.com/loving-v-virginia-1967-249721
Today, interracial marriage in the U.S. between blacks and whites is growing at a record-breaking pace, but for years, various states barred such unions from taking place between African Americans and Caucasians.
A Virginia couple named Richard and Mildred Loving challenged the anti-miscegenation laws on the books in their home state. After being arrested and told they couldn’t live in Virginia because of their interracial union—Mildred was black and Native American, Richard was white—the Lovings decided to take legal action. Their case reached the U.S. Supreme Court, which decided on June 12, 1967, to strike down anti-miscegenation laws in the country.

Pledge to Teach the Truth - BLM at School Iowa
Pledge to Teach the Truth - BLM at School Iowa
June 12, 2021 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
"Dr. White and The Academy staff encourage your participation in this important virtual event. As is often the case these discussions will impact your futures. Please see below for registration information. Thank you."
Greetings friends of BLM at School-Iowa:
We are writing to ask you to join us in our Pledge to Teach the Truth. On June 12, we are joining a national movement of educators who are coming together at historic locations around the country to speak up against legislative efforts to ban or prevent teachers from teaching the truth about the role of racism, sexism, heterosexism, and oppression throughout U.S. history.
When we know the truth of our past, we understand our present, and see opportunities to build a different future. This unites us.
Not acknowledging the country’s actual history, including racism and other oppression, is deception, not education.
On June 12 1-230 PM CST we will have a Virtual Town Hall for Black educators, students and community members across the state. It will be a space where we will converse and discuss our concerns and experiences with our schools. Please register to join us here. All who register will receive the zoom link the day of the event.
Please be prepared to bring your thoughts, concerns and questions as we will discuss the recent bills, including House File 802, which legally restricts teaching of systematic racism.
If you can’t join, you can still show your support using your social media and letting your friends and community know that you stand with educators who are Pledging to Teach the Truth!
You can learn more about this national call for action being led by the Zinn Education Project (coordinated by Rethinking Schools and Teaching for Change) and Black Lives Matter at School. https://www.zinnedproject.org/news/day-of-action-june-12/
We look forward to seeing you Saturday!
Sincerely,
BLM at School-Iowa

Juneteenth Celebration
Juneteenth Celebration
June 19, 2021
blackiowa.org/juneteenth/
Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration of the end of slavery in America. After the Emancipation Proclamation was issued on January 1, 1863, owners in many isolated areas kept word from their slaves so that they would not flee. On June 19, 1865, some of the last slaves in America were freed when the news at last reached Confederate Galveston, Texas. Since that day, Juneteenth has been celebrated to honor the African Americans who built this nation.
