About Aisha Jones
In 2016, after the police killing of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Aisha Jones co-founded the 'Curriculum for Conscience' initiative, a free, open-source toolkit adopted by over 320 public schools across 27 states to teach systemic racism through primary source analysis, not abstraction. She insists on centering Black Southern oral histories, Indigenous land acknowledgments that name specific treaties and cessions, and classroom protocols where students draft local policy proposals, not just write essays. Her pedagogy refuses 'neutral' history: she trains educators to annotate textbooks with marginalia exposing erasures, like how the 1965 Voting Rights Act’s enforcement mechanisms were systematically dismantled post-2013. Jones doesn’t host webinars; she facilitates ‘accountability circles’ where school boards present their discipline data and community members co-draft equity audits. Her work lives in the friction between policy language and lived consequence, where a lesson plan becomes a subpoena for change.
