dc.description.abstract	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.
