Description

By M. Gerlene Ross, Ph.D. & O. Brieann Holmes, MBA

Volume I advances a central thesis: educational inequity is neither accidental nor inevitable. It is the outcome of systems designed without full regard for the cultural identity, historical reality, and human dignity of all learners — particularly American Descendants of Slavery (ADOS) and other marginalized groups.

When identity is subtracted, when families are excluded, and when teachers are constrained by rigid institutional models, learning becomes an exercise in compliance rather than liberation. Excellence, under such conditions, becomes a privilege rather than a promise.

Yet this volume is not a eulogy for public education. It is a call to consciousness. It establishes the moral, historical, and structural foundations necessary for transformation — and clarifies why incremental reforms and isolated interventions have failed.
