    About this ebook

    I became a tortoise teacher. I stuck my head out of my room when my class entered my classroom and when they exited my classroom. Otherwise, my classroom stayed locked. The young man's pants were ripped from A to Z. He sat in front of me and refused to close his legs. God wanted me to tell the world that Mississippi White educators were no longer solely responsible for the inadequate education that poor Black students received. He wanted the world to know that African American educators and administrators had failed to properly educate and discipline His children. And, He wanted the world to know that sound education is not dependent upon dollars but upon dedication.

      A Year in Reading: Ismail Muhammad

      Dec 10, 2017

      For me, 2017 was the year that journalism nearly supplanted fiction as my reading life’s dominant genre. I started the year in a state of alarm at Donald Trump’s inauguration. Shortly after he took office, I resolved to be a good, engaged citizen aft
