Gloria Graves Holmes provides a passionate and clearly reasoned case for placing racial equity and social justice at the heart of any school change efforts. She challenges school administrators and teacher leaders to a higher calling for our work-not merely closing gaps and moving data points, but deconstructing the arrangements of social dominance that are the deeper causes of racial disparities. Holmes' lifetime of research and activism shines through in every chapter. -Gary R. Howard, Author of We Can't Teach What We Don't Know; Founder, The REACH Center for Multicultural Education; Civil Rights Activist and Tireless Advocate for Social Justice and Educational Equity Justice in Search of Leaders: A Handbook for Equity-Driven School Leadership should be required reading for every teacher, administrator, and psychologist, no matter how many degrees they possess. In a nutshell, this is what it's all about-that when we talk of ignorance about 'race', what we're actually talking about is skin color. I hope that this book will cause its readers to see the world in an entirely different way, and to appreciate their fellow human beings as they never have prior to reading this remarkable work. Until we rid ourselves of the belief in several different races, and begin to realize, recognize, and admit we are all members of the same race, the human race, we will continue to treat others in less than human ways. In denying the humanity of others, we de-humanize ourselves. -Jane Elliott, Creator of the Blue Eyes-Brown Eyes Exercise; Internationally-Known Teacher, Lecturer, and Diversity Trainer
