In late 2020, I introduced an article to Wikipedia titled "White Supremacy in U.S. School Curriculum," which traces white supremacy and racism in past and present curriculum. I will continue to revise this article and its associated sections in parent articles. This spring, I am planning on adding to the Middle East section in "Women's history," with the hope of adding to the article's section on Africa as well.
