1. Finding Renewal and Inspiration through the Teaching and Learning of Black Education

Author

Phelps, Maya, Taylor, Emille, and Purdy, Michelle A.

Abstract

Drawing on counter-storytelling and oral history methodology, we reflect on how the teaching and learning of the past, present, and future of Black education in the Spring of 2022 both renewed and inspired us as students and a professor. Using visuals to show how students made meaning of what they were learning, we explore the dynamics, content, and lasting meaning of this educational experience that followed a "winter" characterized by a global pandemic, continued killings of unarmed Black people and reckoning with systemic racism, and the insurrection at the nation's Capital. In total, we delineate what it means to create space for and be a part of legacies and lineages of liberatory Black education.

36. Institutional Historical Acknowledgement: What Does It Hurt to Embrace the Past?

Author

Furlonge, Nicole Brittingham, Graves, Kenny, Morris, Thu-Nga, Odell, Sarah, and Purdy, Michelle A.

Abstract

In this commentary, Purdy calls independent schools to grapple with their complicated and full institutional histories. Offering examples of schools and individuals doing this work, Purdy contends that independent schools need histories of diversity, equity, and inclusion that span the entirety of United States history, like those being uncovered by higher education institutions that are delving deeply into the relationship between their institutions and legacies of enslavement. Purdy presents a concise history of what we know now about how independent schools have reflected the racism embedded in United States society, how the civil rights movement pushed independent schools to desegregate and admit more Black students, and how Dr. William Dandridge, the first director of Minority Affairs for the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) in the 1970s, challenged independent school leaders on their thinking about race. This commentary concludes by encouraging independent schools to ask the hard questions, because even with all the progress that has been made to make independent schools more diverse, inclusive, and equitable, Black students continue to shed light on the institutional and interpersonal racism that they contend with today.
