My guests focus their significant expertise on the topic of Multicultural and Anti-racist education. Touching on the long history of our educational systems teaching a “white” version of history, ideas and models are discussed that challenge our entire educational system to “tell the truth” by teaching multiple truths and perspectives that honor and celebrate the experience of people of color. The challenge of inviting the system to engage in this crucially important dialogue is highlighted along with the “cost” to students of color when they internalize messages that “white is better.” Examples of multicultural educational practices are discussed.
