  Case: Schooling & African Americans


I believe that this power point gave me a better understanding on schooling and African Americans. According to Samuel Chapman Armstrong, “race was the key to understanding, morality, industry, thrift, responsibility, ambition, and the overall social worth of human.” (Senese, Tozer, 2013). Armstrong’s racial view was the beginning of justice for African Americans. I felt that although Armstrong was a strong advocate for African Americans he still managed to justify why it was ok to believe that blacks were inferior to whites. As a person who belives that skin color in no way defines a person, it is still shocking to me that so many people belive and still belive that your skin color determines your rights as a human.

Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Agreed, being in the classroom and dealing with racism can be difficult, but allowing yourself to stick to your beliefs and constantly informing your students that race do not play a role in our classroom is super important. Backing up your words is also important, such as using posters or lessons which include all races.
