black girlhood curriculum
(VOLUME 1 AVAILABLE)
JBG recognizes education as liberation and endeavors to combat the universal suppression of Black girls’ experience and the miseducation of Black girlhood through our Black Girlhood curriculum. Our curriculum is dedicated to 8 Black girls whose legacies inform our work. Though too often overlooked, Gail Etienne, Ruby Bridges, Leona Tate, & Tessie Provost integrated schools on November 14th 1960. Additionally, Addie May Collins, Denise McNair, Cynthia Wesley, & Carole Roberston, lost their life due to the bombing of 16th Street Baptist Church on September 15th 1963.
