Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
"This revision of this classic text could not be more timely. We are at a moment of reckoning with respect to race in America. The COVID 19 pandemic, coupled with the centuries-old pandemic of racial injustice, have brought new attention to the presence of systemic racism in our schools and other institutions. Glenn Singleton's Courageous Conversations protocol has had a lasting impact on hundreds of thousands of educators both in the U.S. and abroad. Singleton was prescient in setting forth the premise that before we can "solve" race in this country we need to learn to talk about it. This edition retains the hallmark features previous editions, including the four agreements, the protocol, activities, reflective prompts and a series of powerful Racial Autobiographies. However, it has been updated to reflect our current sociopolitical environment -- especially the current spotlight on racial injustice juxtaposed against a white nationalist backlash. This book has helped equity leaders in K-12 schools as well as other institutions develop their racial consciousness, and guide others to greater understanding and action"--

In this NPR Best Book of the Year, a mixed–race punk rock musician must face the real dangers of being Black in America in this “wise meditation on race, authenticity, and belonging” (Nylon). Chris L. Terry’s Black Card is an uncompromising examination of American identity. In an effort to be “Black enough,” a mixed–race punk rock musician indulges his own stereotypical views of African American life by doing what his white bandmates call “Black stuff.” After remaining silent during a racist incident, the unnamed narrator has his Black Card revoked by Lucius, his guide through Richmond, Virginia, where Confederate flags and memorials are a part of everyday life. Determined to win back his Black Card, the narrator sings rap songs at an all–white country music karaoke night, absorbs black pop culture, and attempts to date his Black coworker Mona, who is attacked one night. The narrator becomes the prime suspect, earning the attention of John Donahue, a local police officer with a grudge dating back to high school. Forced to face his past, his relationships with his black father and white mother, and the real consequences and dangers of being Black in America, the narrator must choose who he is before the world decides for him.
