Revolutionary and practical. Emdin's work serves as a much-needed mirror to white folks (like me) who teach in the hood (and the rest of y'all too). And while I might not have been comfortable with what the mirror revealed, I'm better for having seen it and for changing.

C&R (p. 114):
Every day I'm - hustling
Can I proceed? - Yes indeed
All for one - One for all
I will not lose
(All for One - Brand Nubian)

Capoeira (p.153) The facing of an opponent becomes a means to strengthen the physical, spiritual, and mental self and recognize that the battle is not with the person who stands in front of you but with life.

(p. 172) in regards to wearing a hat in school -
"Does the fact that the student chooses to do/wear this have any impact on my teaching, their learning, or his/her intelligence? If the answer is no, then that form of self-expression should be welcome in the classroom."

Edmin poses an interesting indictment of the current system, but the strategies to combat it aren’t able to be implemented in schools that don’t already have total teacher autonomy.
