Description
As a California State Assemblyman, Dymally introduced legislation to mandate the inclusion of Black history in California textbooks. The legislation was later expanded to include the history of other people from races and ethnicities. The fight for Ethnic Studies in California schools continues, including a 2016 law to develop a model ethnic studies curriculum for California high schools, the LA Unified School District (LAUSD) K-12 ethnic studies resolution in 2014, and the LAUSD ethnic studies high school graduation requirement in 2020.
