O artigo analisa a trajetória de uma professora negra na periferia de uma capital do sul do Brasil e tem como objetivo explicitar como valores e memórias de uma certa formação étnico-racial podem influir no processo de “tornar-se professora”. O estudo se baseia em uma entrevista direta, realizada durante a atividade de uma disciplina de um curso de pós-graduação e tem como instrumental teórico-metodologico a autobiografia, concebida como uma ‘tipologia das mediações sociais” (NÓDOA e FINGER, 1988), construída a partir de “saberes distintos” (TARDIF, 2002). Recorremos, ainda, aos conceitos de Conscientização em FREIRE (1979) e outras referências em J. CANDAU e M.C. PASSEGI. PALAVRAS-CHAVE Autobiografia, Saberes, Práticas.   THE CHILD’S LISTENING TO THE TEACHER’S GINGA STYLE: the knowledge mobilization of a black educator from the outskirts of Porto Alegre on "becoming a teacher" ABSTRACT This article analyzes the pathway of a black teacher from a capital city in South Brazil and aims to explain how memories and values of a certain ethnic- racial education may influence the “becoming a teacher” process. The study, carried out during a postgraduate course activity, is based on a direct interview and its theoretical and methodological tool is autobiography, which was conceived as “typology of social mediation”(NÓDOA e FINGER,1988) and built from “distinct knowledge”(TARDIF, 2002). We have yet used the Critical Consciousness approach by Freire (1979) and other references in. Candau and M.C. PASSEGI. KEYWORDS Autobiography, Knowledge, Practices.

A review of Matthew E. Henry's Teaching While Black. Main Street Rag Publishing Company, 2020.   Matthew E. Henry's slim, searing first book of poems, Teaching While Black, is composed of situations or "teaching moments" that have occured throughout his life and particularly in his career as a Black teacher at mostly white and privileged schools. Particularly timely after the recent police killings of Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and others, the poems, and the moments each represents, highlight the intersection of race, class, and gender politics, exploring the conflicted meanings of place, position, and identity for a Black educator. These are challenging, insightful, and passionate poems that would be ideal reading for courses focused on these issues, particularly in conjunction with the BLM protests that coincide with the collection's publication and with helping students both to understand and resist the received positions that society, or educational institutions assign them.

This chapter analyses Roosevelt’s domestic policies and his personal family life as president. His 1901 dinner with black educator Booker T. Washington and his 1902 settling of a coal strike endeared him to reformers. In 1904 he won election in his own right. As a tolerant Protestant, Roosevelt appointed the first Jew to a cabinet position in 1906, supported the Mormon senator Reed Smoot, and defended the Unitarianism of his hand-picked successor William Howard Taft. At the same time he faced backlash for attempting to remove “In God We Trust” from the national coinage. Theodore and Edith Roosevelt also raised their children in the Christian faith and quietly encouraged their devotion.

This chapter covers the New Deal decade of the 1930s and the Greatest War decade of the 1940s. After the stock market crash in October 1929, the mounting toll of unemployment, industrial near-collapse, and crop failures overwhelmed the feeble recovery efforts of President Herbert Hoover’s administration and brought Franklin D. Roosevelt to the White House with ambitious plans for a New Deal. Black leaders were both hopeful and cautious about the impact of recovery programs. Under the leadership of Mary McCloud Bethune, a noted Black educator and friend of Eleanor Roosevelt, a “Black Cabinet” succeeded in obtaining a fair share of jobs and relief for poor Blacks, but at the price of segregation in Jim Crow states. The chapter also recounts the beginnings of the legal campaign against school segregation, led by Thurgood Marshall, legal director of the NAACP. His first court victories, in Maryland and Missouri, were interrupted by World War II, during which labor leader A. Philip Randolph won protection for Blacks in war industries. But the war’s end unleashed a new wave of attacks on Blacks; the blinding of a Black veteran in uniform, Isaac Woodard, by a White South Carolina sheriff so upset President Harry Truman that he ordered integration of the armed forces. Meanwhile, Marshall won three more graduate and law school cases in Oklahoma and Texas, further undermining the “separate but equal” doctrine of the Plessy case.
