In the winter of 1996, the Oakland school board's resolution
recognizing Ebonics as a valid linguistic system generated a brief
firestorm of hostile criticism and misinformation, then faded from
public consciousness. But in the classrooms of America, the
question of how to engage the distinctive language of many
African-American children remains urgent. In "The Real Ebonics
Debate" some of our most important educators, linguists, and
writers, as well as teachers and students reporting from the field,
examine the lessons of the Ebonics controversy and unravel the
complex issues at the heart of how America educates its children.
