They Burned It Down: The Untold Story of Black Towns in America
(Grades 6–8 Educator Edition)
They Burned It Down is a powerful and accessible exploration of the Black towns and communities in the United States that were systematically destroyed by racial violence in the early 20th century. Designed for students in grades 6 through 8, this educational edition offers a critical introduction to a lesser-known chapter of American history—one that reveals how thriving Black communities were targeted, erased, and forgotten.
Through clear narratives, historical context, and survivor-centered storytelling, students will examine key events such as the Tulsa Race Massacre, the Rosewood Massacre, the Elaine Massacre, and many others that shaped the racial and economic landscape of the United States. These stories are not just about loss—they are also about resistance, resilience, and the fight for justice.
Aligned with middle school literacy and social studies standards, this book is supported by:
A glossary of key terms
An educator guide with discussion prompts and classroom activities
A visual timeline of events
A student reflection journal for personal and academic engagement
With historical honesty and age-appropriate language, They Burned It Down helps students uncover the truth, ask hard questions, and see how the past continues to shape the present.
