Since the release of Teach Truth: The Struggle for Antiracist Education, Jesse Hagopian has been traveling the country to speak about truth-telling, resistance, and the fight for antiracist education. From packed auditoriums to classrooms, union halls, and bookstores, this tour brings the book's message to life in conversation with communities committed to justice.
Want to host a Teach Truth event in your community? Jesse is currently booking for summer and fall of 2025 and winter and spring of 2026. Events can include keynotes, workshops, panels and more.
