What's this blog about?

I teach several courses under the broad topic of "Multicultural Education," prioritizing social justice issues of access, power/privilege, & narrowing the academic achievement gap. I am a person of color and I almost always have a white co-teacher. We include topics, such as: racism, sexism, heterosexism, ableism, ethnocentrism, deculturalization, transforming curriculum, etc. This is a place where I post information that we teach; lesson plans for activities; and resources we use and/or which are shared with me by my adult students.

Amazing Grace - Words by John Newton, Music by Unknown

This inspiration song has a long history from when it was written by a slave ship captain after he survived a hurricane into the modern decade when any group or nation of people has persevered and survived dramatic odds.

A brief history.
