- Abstract
The article highlights the common educational experience of many African American boys in U.S. schools using an actual second-grade classroom dilemma. Topics covered include the strategies that teachers can use to create democratic classrooms where all children thrive and learn, the use of children's literature focusing on self-identity, agency, and community to impart a sense of belonging and affirmation in children, and the role of positive racial identities in high academic achievement.
