How black history can save your life : from the talk to George Floyd, everything you need to know to deescalate a racist situation / Ernest Crim III, MA.
Emmy-nominated producer, educator, hate crime survivor, and bestselling author Ernest Crim III teaches Black history in this exploration of Black excellence, resistance, and perseverance. By relaying his experience as a Black man in America and contextualizing through a Black historical lens, Crim shares the keys to understanding the roots of racism and how they can be untaught. How Black History Can Save Your Life is an essential guide to understanding the origins of racial inequity and learning actionable strategies to combat interpersonal racism through Black historical narratives and the application of inspiring, lesser-known Black history facts. This book will empower individuals, parents, and educators alike with the tools necessary to challenge racism and foster equity in their schools, communities, and organizations.
