This article offers examples of K--6 classroom texts as vehicles for teaching the Black Historical Consciousness principles as encouragement for teaching Black histories long beyond Black History Month. The framework for Black Historical Consciousness (BHC), which outlines eight principles that provide support for teaching through Black lives and livelihoods (rather than about them), in even the earliest grades include: (1) Power and Oppression; (2) Black Agency, Resistance, and Perseverance; (3) Africa and the African Diaspora; (4) Black Joy and Emotionality; (5) Black Identities; (6) Black Historical Contention; (7) Black Community, Local, and Social Histories; and (8) Black Futurism.
