Your favourite artist has a legal team. Your favourite athlete has a medical team. We all have a part to play in reversing the effects of racism, but I would argue that no industry has had a greater influence on race politics than entertainment. The unique advantage that we have in the arts is the focus on our story; in this space, our economic activity is tied to the social needs of our community."

Hidden in plain view, these intentional communities have historically allowed African American participants to share and create knowledge and find their voices in hostile environments, which, in the case of this study, involve an academic institution. Kynard also discusses the need for critical scholar/student alliances that interrogate taken-for-granted institutional practices that invalidate out-of-school literacies. The article parallels the instructional practices that disenfranchise black students with research agendas that claim to alleviate inequity while really perpetuating it.]]> 2020-06-27 15:46:01 UTC https://padlet.com/pplunkett/re5af04jhwrvnlma/wish/641728844 pplunkett https://padlet.com/pplunkett/re5af04jhwrvnlma/wish/641730234 "For Cooper, liberal arts education provided the tools needed to live an examined life worth living rather than only earning a living."]]> 2020-06-27 15:49:37 UTC https://padlet.com/pplunkett/re5af04jhwrvnlma/wish/641730234 pplunkett https://padlet.com/pplunkett/re5af04jhwrvnlma/wish/641804176 This lesson introduces students to the life, goals, and achievements of Ella Baker.
