Educators owe a duty to ensure their students are taught in an inclusive manner regardless of race, gender, or socio-economic status. Classroom Voices on Education and Race addresses head-on the perpetual marginalization of minority students within our educational system with a veracity and depth of insight that few are courageous enough to put on the record, and even fewer are willing to explore. It also provides a well rounded perspective from those who are fortunate enough not to deal with their racial identity on a regular basis and creates a foundation in which an open and honest dialogue can take root.
