The bottom line is, August Wilson’s Fences and other literary or interdisciplinary works where race is central, or undeniable, requires utmost care, respect, historical context, responsive research, and educators humble enough to dig deep and tell the full truth -before it is taught in our classrooms.

This episode is so good it has to be a two-parter! Our guest is the phenomenal Dr. Marta Effinger Crichlow - interdisciplinary artist, educator, and indy school mom!

In part one we focus on the institution and educator accountability, Fences in the classroom, the N word, the value of personal and untold stories in shaping critical thinkers, and a passion for learning.
