“Allies know all the language,” said Bettina Love, author of We Want to Do More Than Survive: Abolitionist Teaching and the Pursuit of Educational Freedom. “They read all the books…To be a co-conspirator, I try to write in the book, is to take risks for somebody—to put something on the line—, but to use it in a way in which you are using your privilege.” Love discusses that educators must teach students about racial violence, oppression, and how to make positive long-term changes in their communities. Her book is on our Black Liberation Reading List. https://on.nypl.org/3dynLsD To learn more about Love, watch her 2019 talk Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz, associate professor of English education at Teachers College, and Genevieve DeBose, a former New York City Public School teacher. https://bit.ly/2C0YsCM #SchomburgCenter #Schomburg95 @ysealeyruizpoetry
