Racist-Blind, Not Color-Blind by Design: Confronting Systemic Racism in Our Educational Past, Present, and Future

Research output: Contribution to journalReview articlepeer-review

Abstract

This History of Education Society Presidential Address comes at the society's sixtieth anniversary and provides a new conceptual framework that foregrounds recognizing a racist-blind, and not a color-blind, ideology in the intentional and unequal design our educational past and present. It highlights systemic racism brought on by the dual pandemic moments of COVID-19 and global racial unrest, with a call to action for educational historians to lead in promoting systemic, institutional changes.
