What is T3 Thursdays?
Teach the Truth (T3) Thursdays was created as a grassroots response to Georgia Governor Brian Kemp’s endorsement of a Georgia Department of Education resolution aimed at restricting classroom discussions on systemic racism, white supremacy, and racial justice movements.
This resolution—like similar measures passed across the country—misrepresents “Critical Race Theory” in an effort to silence educators and block the truthful teaching of American history. In response, T3 Thursdays was launched to empower educators, uplift truth-telling, and resist political efforts to whitewash history.
A Community of Resistance and Learning
In Fall 2021, university professors and local educators led a 7-week series at the AADM Justice Center to foster a strong, supportive community of anti-racist educators. These sessions provided a space to discuss historical truth, share teaching strategies, and build solidarity.
T3 Thursdays has since grown into a widely supported movement that includes not only educators but also high school and middle school students eager to understand the racial realities of our past and present.
