Leonard Moore has been teaching Black history for twenty-five years, mostly to white people. Drawing on decades of experience in the classroom and on college campuses throughout the South, as well as on his own personal history, Moore illustrates how an understanding of Black history is necessary for everyone.
With Teaching Black History to White People, which is “part memoir, part Black history, part pedagogy, and part how-to guide,” Moore delivers an accessible and engaging primer on the Black experience in America. He poses provocative questions, such as “Why is the teaching of Black history so controversial?” and “What came first: slavery or racism?” These questions don’t have easy answers, and Moore insists that embracing discomfort is necessary for engaging in open and honest conversations about race. Moore includes a syllabus and other tools for actionable steps that white people can take to move beyond performative justice and toward racial reparations, healing, and reconciliation.
From the Publisher
“Teaching Black History to White People, with its elucidating vignettes, is at once hilarious, terrifying, and insightful. Now is the time for such a book—as the nation confronts domestic conflicts, people are searching for something that makes sense, and Moore obliges them with his matter-of-fact style and engaging stories.”
—Stefan Bradley, Loyola Marymount, author of Upending the Ivory Tower: Civil Rights, Black Power, and the Ivy League
“If we are ever going to have open and honest conversations about the country’s racial past, then that conversation starts and ends with the teaching and learning of Black history.”
—Leonard N. Moore
“Magnificent. This book is a gift. Teaching Black History to White People is an urgently needed practical guide to meeting this national moment of racial and political reckoning with pedagogical erudition and intellectual sophistication. Leonard Moore is one of America’s finest historians of Black history and this book should be read by all people interested in transforming the rhetoric of antiracism into practical reality.”
—Peniel E. Joseph, author of Stokely: A Life
