In this episode of the History Slam, Sean Graham talks with Habiba Cooper Diallo, author book #BlackinSchool, which documents the systemic racism and stereotypes found in the education system and how she processed and resisted this while in school. They discuss her experiences in school, system racism in education, and the impact on racialized students. They also explore how to identify microaggressions, the connection between curriculum and school culture, and how we can work together to eliminate racism in school.

In addition to her website, you can find out more about Habiba’s work on Twitter and Facebook.
