The Black Lives Matter at School guiding principle for May of Black Villages invites us to consider how extended families, collective villages, and intergenerational relationships play a role in community care and justice.

These books celebrating Asian American and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, Jewish, and Haitian heritage (May heritage months) focus on community strength and revolution, with lessons that teach us true history and help us to imagine into the future. Booklist

Our Jewish Identity and History list includes stories of cultural traditions, people of note, and collective resistance to oppression. Booklist

Find ideas for teaching about Haiti at the Teach Pluralism blog and Teaching for Change. Booklist

We are grateful for the generous support of our members, individual donors, and The Puffin Foundation Ltd
The core values of HRE USA and its partner organizations include transparency and critical thinking skills. We believe that human rights--and human rights education--belong to everyone, and that the full realization of human rights means that access to human rights education materials must never be conditioned upon the subscription to any particular religious faith, ideology, political affiliation, or membership in any particular organization and that any organizational connections should be openly acknowledged.
