A young Black woman documents the systemic racism in her high
school diary and calls for justice and educational reform. The
prevalence of anti-Black racism and its many faces, from racial
profiling to police brutality, in North America is indisputable.
How do we stop racist ideas and violence if the very foundation of
our society is built upon white supremacy? How do we end systemic
racism if the majority do not experience it or question its
existence? Do our schools instill children with the ideals of
equality and tolerance, or do they reinforce differences and teach
children of colour that they don't belong? # BlackInSchool is
Habiba Cooper Diallo's high school journal, in which she documents,
processes, and resists the systemic racism, microaggressions,
stereotypes, and outright racism she experienced while being Black
in school in Canada. Powerful and eye-opening, Cooper Diallo
illustrates how our schools reinforce rather than erode racism: the
handcuffing and frisking of students of colour by police at school;
one-dimensional, tokenistic curricula portraying Black people; and
the constant barrage of overt racism from students and staff alike.
She shows how systemic racism works, how it alienates and seeks to
destroys a child's sense of self. She shows how our institutions
work to erase the lived experiences of Black youth and try to erase
Black youth themselves. Cooper Diallo's words will resonate with
some, but should shock, appall, and animate a great many more into
action towards a society that is truly equitable for all.
