My goal is to reveal one teacher's humble journey of self-reflection, critical analysis, and endless questioning about my craft of teaching and learning alongside my middle school students.

  1. Ironically, NOT ONE of the Southern Poverty Law Center's top executives is a minority.

    Despite being located LITERALLY in the back yard of Dr. King's home church in Montgomery, the SPLC has NEVER hired a person of color to a highly paid position of authority in its entire 40 year history.

    Even it's "Teaching Tolerance" arm has been led by "whites only" for 19 of its 20 years.

    It's time the SPLC began to practice what it preaches.
