June 09, 20214.7 Fugitive Pedagogy: Carter G. Woodson and the Art of Black Teaching When schools began to integrate following Brown v. Board of Education, many Black educators lost their jobs and the Art of Black Teaching became more difficult to sustain in integrated settings. Wrapped up in a deep history of critical consciousness and political engagement, some would argue that there has been an active history of criminalizing Black education, though the resilience of the Black community has preserved its rich pedagogical tradition.
