Freedom Fighters: Struggles Instituting Black History in K-12
Education captures the ongoing struggle to implement multicultural
curricula in schools. It details how African American students,
caught in the vicious cycle of territorial fights, low test scores,
and placed at risk for dropping out of school, experienced
self-transformation through the study of Black History. Student
leaders describe their experiences with a controversial Black
history program that led to the removal of a teacher who used a
critical pedagogical approach to teaching. Drawing from the
theoretical constructs found in Afrocentric education, critical
pedagogy, and multicultural education, this book introduces a new
concept for educating African American students, coined critical
Black pedagogy in education. Scholars and leaders, such as Elijah
Muhammad, Carter G. Woodson, Paulo Freire, James Banks, and others
provide compelling arguments that cogently describe the challenge
of educating African American students for liberation. Students,
teachers, educational leaders, and others will discover compelling
reasons why students, educators and prospective educators need to
be introduced to Black History. Using real world examples, this is
an ideal book for courses on the foundations of education,
multicultural education and critical pedagogy among others. Get a
glimpse of how a leader like Malcolm X was educated to become a
freedom fighter! Freedom Fighters: Struggles Instituting Black
History in K-12 Education: Documents the origins of the Black
Studies and multicultural education. Highlights the need for K-12
schools to institutionalize Black History from an Afrocentered
perspective. Provides compelling examples of why educators need
courses in critical multicultural education. Captures the student
experiences of being exposed to Black History. Incorporates a new
approach to Black education coined Critical Black Pedagogy in
Education. Entails major aspects of multicultural education such as
racism, knowledge construction, critical pedagogy, and religion.
Recommends strategies for implementing Black History in K-12
education.
