Representative Shelia Stubbs (D-Madison) released the following statement:“Today, I had the honor of introducing the African American History Education Act with Senator Dora Drake and members of the African American/Jewish Friendship Group. In 2018, I became the first African American ever elected to the Wisconsin State Legislature. In the words of actress, author, and Black history advocate Karyn Parsons, ‘Black history isn’t a separate history. Enacting the African American History Education Act will not only make our children better-informed, more well-rounded scholars of history. I dream of Wisconsin where African American history is not just taught during Black History Month, but becomes woven into our history curricula throughout the year.
