Session Type: Symposium
This session reveals how historical sensibilities and critical methodologies can be used to reclaim community memory (Delgado Bernal, 1998) and challenge systematic erasure and distortion of Community of Color histories (García & Yosso, 2020). The session uplifts five papers that capture Communities of Color experiences navigating educational sites within the Greater Los Angeles region, beginning in the early 1900s and extending into the 2020s. Each paper offers distinguishable yet related approaches to re-constructing narratives of student-, educator-, and community-based resistance within various education contexts.
