THE TRUTH-SEEKER FACILITATOR’S GUIDE
Everything You Need to Facilitate Honest Black History Conversations
The Truth-Seeker Discussion Guide is a practical guide for teaching the Truth Seeker series, designed to help educators, museums, families, and community leaders turn powerful one- minute videos into meaningful learning experiences. Built around 31 myth-busting episodes, the guide equips facilitators to move beyond passive viewing and into thoughtful discussion, critical thinking, and truth-telling.
Each episode entry in the guide includes a clear summary, the core truth revealed, why the episode matters, credible references for deeper learning, and discussion questions tailored for middle grades, high school students, and adult learners. The structure is simple and intentional: watch the short one-minute video first, then use the guide to unpack the history, challenge assumptions, and explore the evidence together.
Lead Honest Black History Conversations with Confidence
The Truth-Seeker Facilitator’s Guide gives you everything you need to turn short, powerful videos into meaningful, evidence-based conversations about Black history.
Created to accompany the Truth Seeker Black History Series, this guide helps participants move beyond passive viewing into clarity, understanding, and dialogue without fear, guesswork, or being overwhelmed. You don’t need to be a historian or expert; you just need to be willing to guide the conversation honestly and confidently.
What Topics Does the Guide Cover?
The guide follows the full Truth Seeker series, beginning with foundational myths such as “Columbus discovered America” and “Europeans were the first people on Earth,” and progressing through essential truths about:
- Africa’s civilizations and global influence
- Exploration and innovation
- Enslavement, labor, and resistance
- Emancipation and delayed freedom
- The historical meaning of Juneteenth
Each entry replaces long-standing false narratives with documented historical truth.
