"I can't recommend this book highly enough for its scaffolding and stories on how to create a classroom culture that supports serious conversations about difficult topics....Having read this book, in many ways I feel I can't return to the teacher I was....This is not a book to be skimmed in one sitting, but instead to be digested, then acted upon." --Sarah Cooper, Middleweb, "Thoughtful, timely, and beautifully written." --Kelly Gallagher, author of In the Best Interest of Students and Readicide, This is the book we need to shift the "tried and tired" practice of touting empty rhetoric about race to a practice that puts us firmly on a pathway toward achieving racial equity. Matt is a master facilitator and shares the tools every teacher needs to hone their practice to make conversations about race commonplace. --Sonja Cherry Paul, "I'm in love with Matthew's book. He writes with clarity, passion, and backs up everything he says with experiences or history that hits you right in the chest. As an educator in the world today, we owe it to our students to listen to what Matthew Kay has to say." --Jacob Chastain, literacy coach and producer, Teach Me, Teacher podcast, "I can't recommend this book highly enough for its scaffolding and stories on how to create a classroom culture that supports serious conversations about difficult topics....Having read this book, in many ways I feel I can't return to the teacher I was....This is not a book to be skimmed in one sitting, but instead to be digested, then acted upon." -Sarah Cooper, Middleweb, A reminder to educators to not sidestep or oversimplify conversations about race, but to engage students in them as scholars with voices and experiences that are just as important as those of the adult in the classroom.

I found myself thinking, "How different would the field of education be if Matt Kay had advised John Dewey? How different would I be if Matt Kay had been my teacher?" The answer: radically so.
