With Educating for Black Lives, Routledge Education reaffirms its longstanding commitment to social justice and racial equality at this critical moment in history.

Intended to support educators across contexts—classrooms, communities, homes, workshops, and more—we present this website as an offering to those newly or perennially engaged in this important work. We are proud to be working with the authors featured in this collection.
