Don’t Let the Texas Legislature Kick Black Students Down the Road — Education PowerED
by Isaiah Jay Carter
During a time where black students are facing the brunt of a pandemic, political partisanship and turmoil, climate disasters and learning loss, our Texas Governor Greg Abbott has made it clear that his priorities lay elsewhere.
For Black Teachers, It’s About More Than Just Academics
by Shontoria Walker, Ed.D.
As we celebrate Black History Month and pay homage to our milestones, I reflect on my time inside the classroom. As an African-American woman my purpose in this place, at this time, has been to not only provide my students with the academic skills they need, but with the character and life skills they need to be successful.
DEAR PARENTS,
by Alma Contreras
As you may know, many Native American images found on Thanksgiving cards, decorations, and school materials are very stereotypic. They are often based on a "composite" view of Native Americans rather than on accurate and diverse Native American lifestyles and traditions. As a consequence, Thanksgiving imagery serves to teach and reinforce children's misinformation and stereotypic thinking about Native Americans, laying a foundation for later prejudice.
FEEL THE SUN
by Frank Jackson
On March 19th, my world stopped. As it did for the entire world when COVID-19, better known as the CoronaVirus, started a global pandemic and rebirthed a world I thought died with the bubonic plague. Spread invisibly through the air, Ms. Rona pushed us all into our respective homes with the blinds shut and doors sealed.
Planting Seeds of Love on Dark Time
by Nancy Valdez-Gainer
In his work as an author, poet, teacher, and administrator, Dr. Tomás Rivera was always committed to the struggle for equality and social justice and believed in the power of stories to challenge and transform social injustice. His works can be seen as counter-narratives that serve as an act of resistance by conserving those aspects of life that Mexican Americans hold as their own while attempting to destroy the inventions of others that perpetuate stereotypes and continue to do harm.
representation matters beyond bhm
by David McDonald
But even with all the love that I share for Black History Month and how powerful I believe these 28 days can be to the learning and social development of all students, there is ONE PROBLEM that always ruins the holiday….. IT ENDS!
Thank you covid-19

These are tough times for everyone right now. Some of us struggle with the impossible balance of working full-time in our makeshift offices while also caring for a full house. Some have lost their source of stability, routine, and peace. Others are alone. Whatever the case may be, it can be easy to become trapped under the darkness of it all.
