Since the start of the pandemic, the Zinn Education Project has been hosting free monthly Teach the Black Freedom Struggle classes. Scroll down for upcoming classes, and even further down for 49 past classes. They started with The Rebellious Life of Rosa Parks in March 2020. Full transcripts started with Lessons from the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in October 2020. Sign language interpretation was added with Can’t Stop Won’t Stop: A Hip-Hop History in October 2021. The latest class is The Condemnation of Blackness: Lies We’re Told About Crime from last month. Tomorrow's class is Interracial Organizing Stories from The Sum of Us.

I found the series via Born in Blackness: Africa, Africans, and the Making of the Modern World, 1471 to WWII from May 2023. Also in my queue are Black Freedom on Native Land from September 2022 and Black Women Radicals Confront the Red Scare from January 2023.
