Teaching beautiful brilliant black girls
Book - 2021
"The Guide for White Women Who Teach Black Boys sold nearly 10,000 copies in its first year, making it one of our most successful, recent Equity titles and placing it shoulder to shoulder with books by Zaretta Hammond and Glenn Singleton. Its success has been propelled by Eddie Moore's tireless support of the project through workshops and conferences, and by positive press from both education-focused and general interest publications. (A recent journal review of the book is attached to this proposal) Moreover, the multitude of contributors who brought the book to life -- many of whom are influential equity thought leaders themselves -- spiked additional interest in this work along with incremental sales"--
