This Black archival review used Black historical consciousness (King, 2020)
as a conceptual framing and Black archival practice (Sutherland & Collier,
2022) as qualitative methodology to examine the early formation of formal
Black history education to address contemporary movements surrounding
the censorship and restriction on teaching race and historical truth. We
conclude with a call to remember that Black historical consciousness continues
to provide a roadmap to navigate all contemporary and future
threats to American democracy.
