“Dr. Croom offers the answer to how to have the deep and honest discussions of race and politics in any of today’s classrooms. Politics are embedded and addressed head-on marvelously because of experiences and the learning he has endured. It’s a journey well captured for our benefit, even for those on the fence regarding whether they are truly ready. Students are ready to have these conversations. Teachers are ready to lead and ensure it happens. With this clear and concise guide it is now possible.”
