Today is Día de los Muertos—a holiday wholly distinct from Halloween. Honoring its history and uplifting those who celebrate it presents many opportunities in learning spaces. To all who celebrate, ¡Feliz Día de los Muertos! learningforjustice.org/magazine/let-d…

My favorite World Series memory: Two years (and one day) ago, the @Nationals won the World Series. The team, coaches, staff, and families all stayed up late celebrating. The next morning, October 31st, the team and families were set to fly from HOU back home to DC with the trophy

Awesome job!! Love to see APS grads (and classmates!) succeeding in the news! <3

The History faculty donned their ‘wizard robes’ to welcome the class of 2025 to Muhlenberg #muhlenbergcollege

This is just your daily reminder that high school students are still children that deserve love, compassion and empathy.

This Day in Labor History: May 18, 1933. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt creates the Tennessee Valley Authority, a large-scale economic planning program to transform the South. Let's talk about how it changed the history of work in that region, including increasing racism!

This month marks 100 years since the deadliest racial massacre in U.S. history occurred in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Help center the stories of survivors, witnesses, and their families by transcribing historic documents from the city's 20th c. Black community, now held @nmaahc:
