ABSTRACT
During a break in a daylong session on white privilege that I was presenting at the National Conference on Race and Ethnicity (NCORE) some years back, I was talking about my excitement at seeing my old friend Ronel. Before moving away, she had taught third grade at a private school in the Bay Area; she was the only African American teacher in a sea of wealthy white children and a few poor Latino and Black children that the school had recruited from another part of the city.
