New York City is set to implement a new Black Studies curriculum across its public schools, covering pre-K to 12th grade, as part of an initiative funded by the New York City Council's Education Equity Action Plan. The curriculum, developed by Columbia University's Teachers College, aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the history of inequality and the contributions of people of African descent. Topics will include Adinkra symbols, the Haitian Revolution, and the reparations movement, with teaching materials designed to affirm the narratives of historically marginalized groups. This rollout occurs amid ongoing debates in other states regarding educational content on race and gender, where some have sought to restrict such teachings. Advocates believe that this curriculum will serve as a model for other districts, fostering a more inclusive understanding of American history. The curriculum is publicly available and designed to supplement existing educational frameworks with new units, reading lists, and activities.
