One of the major contemporary topics in education is teaching issues of race in K-12 social studies classrooms. Over the last several years, at least 35 states have passed or proposed legislation to prohibit or restrict conversations about race in K-12 schools. Most supporters of this legislation argue that teachers are indoctrinating students and making white students feel shame about America's racist past. In this article, the authors present a seven-day project within the Birmingham metropolitan area where fourth graders researched the creation of suburban school systems in their city. The fourth graders analyzed primary and secondary sources to research the role that issues of race played in this process.
