One of the ways this foundational history enters our memories is through the classroom. That is why we are delighted that How the Word Is Passed will be available in a young readers edition, adapted by Sonja Cherry-Paul. Join us online for a book launch on Monday, August 25 at 7pm ET of How the Word Is Passed: Remembering Slavery and How It Shaped America. Smith will be in conversation with Rethinking Schools editor Jesse Hagopian and educator and Prentiss Charney Fellow Jessica Rucker.
