Teaching America | Documentary Screening & Q&A

Raben

525 9th Street Northwest - 7th Floor
Washington, DC 20004 United States

Presented by Raben x March On!

What does it look like to teach the truth — and fight for the right to do it?

Join us for a screening of Teaching America, a short documentary that takes us inside Arkansas classrooms where teachers, students, and families are navigating the very first inaugural AP African American Studies courses in the country. Told with intimacy and honesty, the film captures what’s at stake when history, identity, and education collide.

Following the screening, we’ll hear directly from the filmmaker in a live Q&A.
