Teaching the Truth: A Conversation with Dr. James Whitfiel <drjameswhitfield.com/>d
Dr. James Whitfield joined #RaceClass for a wide ranging conversation about his own racial education as a multi-racial child in west Texas; the hostile environment teachers and students face in Texas today; and reasons for optimism even in oppressive times.
Dr. Whitfield is an award-winning education advocate centered on creating safe, nurturing, and equitable learning environments which, in turn, help transform communities. In summer 2020, Dr. Whitfield was early into his tenure as the first Black principal at a predominantly white high school in Texas. In the midst of global protests for racial justice, Dr. Whitfield wrote a letter to the school community detailing the pain of anti-black racism. He received widespread support from the school community, but backlash nonetheless arrived and cost him his job. Listen to his story on #RaceClass.
