In 1935, W.E.B. Du Bois asked, "Does the Negro need separate schools?" His stunning query spoke to the erasure of cultural relevancy in the classroom and to reassurances given to White supremacy through curricula and pedagogy.Two decades later, as the Supreme Court ordered public schools to desegregate, educators still overlooked the intimations of his question. This book reflects upon the role K-12 education has played in enabling America's enduring racial tensions. Combining historical analysis, personal experience, and a theoretical exploration of critical race pedagogy, this book calls for placing race at the center of the pedagogical mission.

“This is the book we need. Teachers are increasingly asking how to effectively grow critical racial consciousness in the classroom, especially among white students and in predominantly white spaces. Todd Mealy answers with clarity, conviction and concrete strategies. Race Conscious Pedagogy speaks to multiple tiers—theoretical and curricular, classroom and systems. His belief that public schools can be vehicles of liberation comes through on every page and his skill at enabling the rest of us to imagine we can be part of educational movements to get us there is nothing less than a gift. For the good of all students, the sake of racial justice, indeed, the well-being of our democracy, read this fantastic book.”—Jennifer Harvey, Ph.D., Drake University, author, Raising White Kids: Bringing Up Children in a Racially Unjust America
