We believe the one who had the power. He is the one who gets to write the story. So when you study history, you just always ask yourself, Whose story am I missing? Whose voice was suppressed so that this voice could come forth? Once you have figured that out, you must find that story too. From there, you begin to get a clearer, yet still imperfect, picture.

This book is recommended to everyone. But it should be REQUIRED reading for anyone working with kids or in education or in juvenile justice. I was a teacher in KY before leaving the profession to go to law school. I so wish I had known this book then. I would change so much about my time as a teacher knowing what I know now. I also have a strong urge to send this to the administrators that I worked under as a teacher. Definitely read this book.
