AHA Executive Director Quoted in Washington Post Article on the Bray School

AHA executive director Jim Grossman was quoted in a Washington Post article by Susan Svrluga on the Bray School, the oldest surviving school for Black children in the US, which is expected to open to the public next year at Colonial Williamsburg. Grossman spoke to the Post about the “wide variety of contexts” where history education takes place, including classrooms, museums and historic sites. As states continue to enact restrictions on teaching “divisive concepts” in American history, “we need to remember that we cannot heal the nation’s wounds unless we understand the origins and histories of those wounds,” Grossman said.
