Last night, amid protest happening in Atlanta, a student texted to ask what I thought about what was happening in our city. She asked if I thought this event would appear in textbooks & how teachers would approach the topic in class. This was my response. #AtlantaProtest 1/10
“Textbooks are written by the dominant culture, for the dominant culture. Social movements that give voice to power and expose injustice and inequity remain excluded from the text.” #AtlantaProtest 2/10
