"Our History Is Under Attack" will be the theme of a Black History Month Program from the NAACP's DeKalb County branch next month.
The event, free to the public, will be held at Rainbow Park Baptist Church, 2941 Columbia Dr. in Decatur at 10 a.m. on Saturday, February 4.
A panel of legislators, educators, administrators, parents and students will discuss a Georgia law passed last year that seeks to prevent "divisive concepts and ideologies from invading the classroom" by barring any discussions that "the United States of America is fundamentally racist," "any other form of race scapegoating or race stereotyping," or "espousing personal political beliefs."
"They are trying to restrict teaching of Black History to our children," the DeKalb NAACP says. "Come and find out what you need to know to save our history."
All are invited to attend, online registration through Eventbrite is required.
