Identifies and discusses the social and historical positioning of social justice movements (from Civil Rights to Human Rights to Black Lives Matter) and its connection to the creation of abolitionist educators. Unapologetically highlights what it means to be Black, Latinx, Indigenous, queer, dis/abled and marginalized throughout U.S. history and within educational spaces. The overall purpose is to educate students to be politically, socially, and economically conscious about their personal connections to local and national history and to take action as abolitionists in the classroom by promoting and advocating for social justice in the curriculum, instruction, assessment, and discipline.
