博客來In today’s schools, Black children often learn a history that doesn’t reflect their reality or heritage. They hear the stories of others repeatedly, while their own legacy remains untold. Black Kid, White School: What They Don’t Teach Your Black Child is the groundbreaking book every Black parent and child needs. Written by Joel I. Plummer, an experienced educator dedicated to empowering Black youth, this book fills critical gaps left by traditional education.
Your child will discover the rich and diverse history of Black people, from humanity’s origins in Africa and the great civilizations that thrived long before European dominance, to the courageous resistance against slavery and racial oppression. Readers will explore powerful stories of resilience, innovation, and brilliance throughout the African diaspora, learning about influential leaders, pivotal movements, and cultural achievements that have shaped history and continue to inspire today.
Designed for quick and engaging learning, each chapter uses a simple question-and-answer format that makes it easy for busy families to absorb powerful lessons and reclaim their true identity. This book is more than just history-it’s a lifeline for Black children facing a society that too often diminishes their worth. It offers essential protection against the psychological harm of racism, providing young Black minds with the confidence, knowledge, and pride necessary to challenge prejudice and thrive.
Black Kid, White School isn’t just about what they won’t teach your child-it’s about giving your child the education they deserve, celebrating who they are, and equipping them to navigate and transform their world.
