We Want to Do More Than Survive by
Educator Bettina Love argues that the U.S educational system is maintained by and profits from the suffering of children of color. To dismantle the educational survival complex and to achieve educational freedom--not reform--educators, parents, and community leaders must approach education through the imagination, determination, boldness and urgency of an abolitionist. Drawing on her experiences as a student and teacher, Love highlights young community leaders, artists and activists who are advocating for social change and inclusion.
