Video Synopsis
Education Week spoke with 10 Black high school students from across the country about how they think issues of race and racism should be handled in school. Students talk about their experiences discussing race in the classroom. The students shared concerns about the lack of representation in curriculum, open conversations about racial injustice, and diversity education for all students and educators. Some students also spoke about positive experiences talking about race and what their teachers did to make the conversations meaningful and productive.
