Description: Teaching for Black Lives grows directly out of the movement for Black lives. We recognize that anti-Black racism constructs Black people, and Blackness generally, as not counting as human life. Throughout this book, we provide resources and demonstrate how teachers connect curriculum to young people's lives and root their concerns and daily experiences in what is taught and how classrooms are set up. We also highlight the hope and beauty of student activism and collective action.

"I love Teaching for Black Lives because it's a bible to understanding both the contributions of Black and Brown people to America as well as the struggles and chains of institutional racism." -Michael Bennett, author of Things That Make White People Uncomfortable
