This article provides a contemporary look at Black history and discusses Black history mandates. The author provides insight into the purpose of this special issue. The article discusses how this special issue on teaching Black history serves several purposes: (1) providing lesson plans and recommended resources for teachers; (2) combining theory with practice; (3) showing how Black history can be used in teacher preparation, professional development, and nontraditional educational spaces; and (4) reconceptualizing how educators and other citizens understand what people consider to be Black history.
