The meaning of the song in its original context matters in how we understand it, but that doesn't mean we need to *keep* singing the original or replaying it uncritically when the context has shifted.

The idea that Black literary genius is only found in relationship to white, Western writing is absurd and dangerous. The relationship between Baldwin and Shakespeare isn’t as rich as the relationship between Baldwin and my own Black experience in America. #DisruptTexts

My kids just watched the Trevor Noah interview with Jason Reynolds. I asked them what I thought were engaging questions, but they can’t get past the fact that Reynolds is a Black man. They’ve never read a book written by a Black man in school.

My Ss read Tupac’s A ROSE THAT GREW FROM CONCRETE as prep for Cisneros’s HOUSE ON MANGO STREET. My favorite discussion topics: food, gender roles, poetic analysis, blooming from ‘adversity.’

I keep thinking about how if taught more books (and history) that focused on community and solidarity - and fewer stories of individual “hero’s journey” stories - maybe we’d all be a bit better off. #DisruptTexts

Hey #cleartheair #disrupttexts and #teachlivingpoets communities, I’m looking for black “love” poems to read and annotate with my Ss this week. I say “love” because traditional romantic love isn’t required. LOVE is big powerful and I want to capture that with my Ss this week.

Reflecting on what #DisruptTexts and @nenagerman mean to me this morning. Making space for inclusive, representative, and equitable texts matters because our students matter. Their future is at least as important as our collective past.
