Decades of theory, research, and practice have singled out sense of
belonging (in its many derivative forms) as a pivotal component of
healthy development: psychologically, socially, culturally,
academically. The human need for belonging, and therefore its
essential nature, have been well established across multiple
arenas. Despite growth in this field, answers to the barriers to
belonging among marginalized groups and contexts remain especially
elusive. For decades, this work was anchored primarily in dominant,
whitestream lenses and contexts. Therefore, the authors attempt
here to highlight the responsibilities of systems and individual
actors to meaningfully adapt and intentionally make space for
belonging for all. Within that we advocate for the inclusion and
preservation of culture, identity, and voice, and reframe belonging
as a fundamental human right. Moreover, the authors draw on
insights and generate implications across multiple fields
(education, psychology, sociology, counseling, cultural
foundations, and community work). Considering belonging through a
critical, equitable, culturally-sustaining perspective, while
simultaneously identifying settings where more attention to
barriers to belonging is needed, is a non-negotiable element of
moving the work of positive human development forward.
Young Black Changemakers and the Road to Racial Justice tells the
stories of how Black youth become changemakers and speaks to
researchers, educators, community organizations, and the public.
Through many kinds of action, Black youth are driven by a larger
purpose to improve the world for Black people. Black families and
Black-centered organizations support and sustain Black youth's
civic engagement. Investing in community-based organizations
benefits young Black changemakers, and Black identity and community
can offer belonging and joy. Black youth's stories call us to root
out anti-Blackness in schools, on social media, and in public
discourse. Black youth bring society hope for the future and point
the way forward on the road to racial justice.
