What if Black history wasn’t something we covered—but something we taught from?

In this Black History episode of the Educators With Oil podcast, veteran educator Ronnette Branham reframes Black history as a blueprint for identity, instructional authority, and liberation in today’s classrooms.

This is not a timeline lesson. This is formation work.

Drawing from Scripture, lived experience, and the legacy of Black educational ancestors—including Mary McLeod Bethune, Octavius Catto, and the Black Panther Party—this episode explores why identity must come before achievement and why liberation is the condition we teach from, not the reward at the end.
