(TOMS RIVER, NJ) -- Racial barriers that Tiffany Jewell met during her education led her to probe systemic neglect for Black and Brown students, which resulted in Everything I Learned about Racism I Learned in School. She'll discuss lessons learned and motivation gained in her Ocean County Library Virtual Author Talk on Thursday, June 20, 2024 at 2:00pm.
Everything I Learned about Racism I Learned in School, available at the Ocean County Library, is designed to empower young students to navigate their educational systems by understanding the big picture of learning in America.
Tiffany discloses her experiences from elementary school through college and reveals biases that she contends are common to school systems throughout the United States. Personal observations by a wide array of writers lend support to her findings.
The Montessori teacher and anti-bias antiracist (ABAR) educator also wrote This Book is Anti-Racist and The Antiracist Kid: A Book about Identity, Justice and Activism, available at OCL. She co-founded ABARatSchool to empower educators and caregivers on their antiracist journeys and served as President of the nonprofit Montessori for Social Justice.
