    "Liberation and Education embodies the Sankofa spirit, illuminating the past, present, and future of Black intellectual thought. From African ancestors to contemporary voices across the diaspora, this volume affirms that Black communities have always engaged—and will continue to engage—in transformative educational strategies that nurture our collective well-being." - Gloria Swindler Boutte, coeditor of We Be Lovin' Black Children: Learning to Be Literate About the African Diaspora

    "Chennault and Alridge have taken it upon themselves to gather a group of truth tellers to shed light in troubling times. I hope readers understand the immediacy of their message. If we don't, then we must accept that we are complicit with the goals of white supremacy, capitalism, imperialism, and fascism." - David Stovall, professor of Black Studies at the University of Illinois, Chicago

    "Amen to the editors and authors for this book! In a moment when the erasure of contributions and memory of people of African descent living in the U.S. seems more real and tragic, books like this one inspire future generations to realize and accept the possibilities for liberation and freedom. Building on foundational ideas from W. E. B. DuBois and Marcus and Amy Garvey to Asa Hilliard, from Anna Julia Cooper and Carter G. Woodson to Mwalimu Shujaa and William Watkins, the book is most promising for its intent to do more than just record the fight to maintain educational institutions that sustain Black educational thought, but ultimately to determine their own educational histories and futures. We too sing America!" - Rodney Hopson, author of Power, Voice, and the Public Good: Schooling and Education in Global Societies

    Liberation and Education brings together a collection of essays about Black educators' and organizations' quests to cultivate and employ educational strategies for the liberation of Black people. The contributions examine the enduring nature of Black people's thinking about education prior to and through enslavement to the present. It documents a variety of critical accounts of how Black people have developed ways to free themselves mentally from the legacies of slavery, the view of Black inferiority, and historical and systemic racism.
