Lori Wojtowicz has spent her life in classrooms, 35 years teaching and now traveling the country as an educational consultant. She writes not of what she taught, but of what she learned. And the lessons were not easy. Her students provided a microcosm of American society, and she was forced to confront the issue of racism in her classroom, her country, and most significantly in herself. A journey in self reflection, she presents the questions she now believes white Americans must ask of themselves if there is ever to be equity. An unusual pair, Plato and Malcolm X, and all the students served as her guides. She writes because of them.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Recommended for white teachers everywhere! submitted by TeacherN on July 26, 2019, 8:06pm Written by a former Ann Arbor public school teacher, this book is similar to Waking up White by Debbie Irving, but better. It is about a teacher coming to terms with her whiteness. I am a white teacher and I loved this book!
