A History of Racial Injustice 2026 Calendar Now Available

Our 2026 calendar is now available to order online.

We believe that honest history has the power to guide our future. Our award-winning wall calendar is a powerful tool for learning about and engaging with our nation’s history of racial injustice and its legacy.

Since its first publication in 2013, millions of people have used our wall calendar and accompanying website to deepen their understanding of American history.

Each year our staff research and write about the stories of people and events in American history that are critically important but not well known.

We distribute the calendar to schools, libraries, community centers, and nonprofit organizations around the country, mostly for free. We are honored that educators, artists, community organizers, faith leaders, and others continue to utilize A History of Racial Injustice in powerful and inspiring ways.

Daily Calendar Emails

When readers of our calendar began asking for more content, we created a daily calendar email that automatically sends the day’s entry to subscribers’ email inbox each day. Thousands of people have signed up to receive our daily calendar emails.

Each day there is a new historical event to learn about and explore. All daily entries are accompanied by an image or video and an extended essay researched and written by EJI staff.

You can also get daily calendar entries on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Threads, and Bluesky.

Short Film Calendar Series

In 2024, we launched a series of investigative articles and short films to explore select calendar entries more deeply.

These stories offer a detailed look at moments in our history—like the Wilmington Massacre of 1898 or the “Kissing Case” in 1958—that are not often discussed.

Broadening Our Reach with USA TODAY

Recently we announced an exciting partnership with USA TODAY that will broaden the reach of our narrative work. We are thrilled that our special calendar series of 10 investigative articles and short films will be published in USA TODAY and many of the hundreds of papers in its network, which reaches more than 129 million visitors each month.

We hope you will join millions of people who are engaging with A History of Racial Injustice, ordering a wall calendar, subscribing to our daily calendar emails, sharing calendar posts with friends and family on social media, and exploring deeper with our special features.
