The NEA's resource page for Juneteenth provides a curated collection of lesson plans, videos, and background readings designed to help K-12 educators teach the complex history of emancipation and the enduring legacy of slavery. It emphasizes the importance of an honest and accurate American history curriculum, offering tools (and books and videos) for different grade levels to explore themes of resilience, the struggle for racial equity, and the transition from enslavement to citizenship.
