Who’s telling the story matters!!! Dr. Sonja Cherry-Paul #LitCC2022

Look at all the learning on this Jamboard! So excited for all the classes and educators that are going to add zines to their units. Interest, engagement, and liberation is about to sky rocket in those learning spaces 💯 #LitCC2022

"To save man from the morass of propaganda, in my opinion, is one of the chief aims of education. Education must enable one to sift and weigh evidence, to discern the true from the false, the real from the unreal, & the facts from the fiction." MLK, Jr #LitCC2022 Lorena Germán

Lorena Germán is just so freakin’ brilliant, y’all. So, so brilliant. #LitCC2022
