Confronting Colorblindness
Fergus, Edward
Phi Delta Kappan, v98 n5 p30-35 Feb 2017
Colorblindness is socially acceptable bias that lives in our personal and institutional beliefs. Its existence inhibits our ability to recognize and respond to the realities of the lives of students of color. The author outlines several activities that educators can use to surface beliefs about race during staff meetings and the like.
