Teaching About Black Lives...Everywhere

Abstract

If we are to truly realize a vision of a more democratic society, then teaching about Black life and in particular Black Lives Matter, should not constitute a radical act, but rather a moral imperative for social studies educators. Furthermore, when we say [and teach] Black Lives Matter, the Black Diaspora reminds us “to articulate and transcend nation-state boundaries” (Paschel, 2017, p. 28).
