Pre-service teachers must reconceptualize teaching history to young children by teaching the hidden histories of our nation so that young children can challenge their own biases and assumptions created by a white supremacist society. Teaching the Truth: Uncovering the Hidden History of Racism with Young Children counters the recent narrative that African American History should be whitewashed instead centering it in the early childhood curriculum. Topics covered in this book include: the institution of slavery, Reconstruction, Jim Crow era, The Great Migration, Segregation of schools, Civil Rights and Voting Rights, Police Brutality and Black Lives Matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eKnowing that children’s books are being banned and people purposefully silenced, Dr. Tager’s writings surface marginalized and often ignored, yet so critically important, histories of racism as truth telling! This powerful array of chapters dedicate themselves to opening the wounds and assisting early childhood educators, families and children, and teacher educators to learn how to openly discuss truths of our racist past and present day perpetuations.
