In honor of National Teachers’ Day on May 2, Patricia Kullberg reads excerpts from an open letter to US educational authorities by prominent Black educators, writers and activists. They call for resistance to “anti-woke” attacks on curricula, teachers, libraries and educational institutions. The letter, by Ta-Nehisi Coates, Angela Davis, Nikole Hannah-Jones, Ibram X Kendi, Gloria Steinem, Cornel West and others was published March 8, 2023 in the Guardian, entitled US Educational Authorities Must Resist ‘Anti-Woke’ Censorship.
