Black Lives Matter in Academic Spaces: Three Lessons for Critical Literacy
Young, Vershawn Ashanti
Journal of College Reading and Learning, v50 n1 p5-18 2020
This article analyzes several online performances from the Black Lives Matter movement for the ways they utilize and blend standard academic literacies and African American rhetoric. These performances are discussed as pedagogies of possibility that meet and exceed the common core standards. This talk also points up the crucial roles that racial dignity, ethics, and empathy should play in education.
