Racial Justice and Abolition Democracy: An Action Curriculum for A Just Society

• In Event: Education, Research, and Narrative Change: The Role of History in Higher Education Courses, Curricula, and Research

Abstract

Institutions of higher education have a responsibility to redress the gross racial injustices that today permeate our society—injustices that they themselves have contributed to over past decades and centuries. Far too often, these institutions talk about racial injustice and even teach about it, but do not concretely work with community partners to actually redress the patterns and practices of racial discrimination.
