The Zinn Education Project report, titled"Erasing the Black Freedom Struggle: How State Standards Fail to Teach the Truth About Reconstruction," was released in January as part of a broader campaign to examine how state social studies standards across the United States present Reconstruction history. It includes lessons and suggestions of books and films for teaching about Reconstruction outside the textbook and discusses obstacles to an honest discussion of the era.
