Abstract

The article discusses the impact of historical trauma on students of color in the U.S. and argues that educators need to develop critical consciousness to address this issue. It explores the impact of slavery, segregation, and racism on communities of color. It also discusses the impact of slavery and oppression on the mental health of Black communities, the loss of Black culture capital due to U.S. colonialism, racial identity, and microaggressions experienced by students of color.
