About the Book:

Being Black in America’s Schools: A Student-Educator-Reformer’s Call for Change is a modern twist on the classic 1933 book The Miseducation of the Negro by Carter G. Woodson, offering a stark yet humanizing portrayal of how our public education system consistently damages children of color. Most importantly, the book presents present-day solutions and a hopeful way forward through identity-affirming and liberatory education.

Brian Rashad Fuller is an educational leader, strategist, and author with a passion for addressing the needs of historically underserved students. Learn More at the website.
