America's educational system has been accepted "as is" - despite centuries-old acknowledgements that it has never been an emotionally safe space for Black youth. Our country's educational system - and the rest of the institutions that govern us - is built upon white supremacist ideology that is protected by white violence and white rage. So, this book - part dissertation, part autoethnography, part poetry and part social commentary - is an unapologetic Call to Action, a soul-stirring directive for parents, activists, community-based change agents and fugitive-focused educational revolutionaries. It also reveals I Am MORE's revolutionary, research-based and unapologetic way forward on how to educate/empower/heal Black children, THE most prodigiously traumatized adolescent group. This book also revives the words of scholars, poets, educators, sociologists and even revolutionaries who have documented decades of evidence about how state-sanctioned American schools are designed to undermine rather than undergird the achievement of Black students. What's more, the disconnection between the promise of a free K-12 education and the historically poor outcomes of Black students ultimately influences the ability of the Black community to stabilize after generations of racial trauma. How can the Black community become economically and socially robust if their children, generation after generation, are being influenced to accept themselves as undeserving, undesirable, and uneducable?,
