Abstract

This essay takes a critical look at the beliefs we embrace in this society as “truths” and the inconsistencies that surround many of these concepts especially when they involve those of African Diaspora. The essay challenges us to critically analyze the narratives we have been taught and uncover a new “truth” rooted in factual evidence in an effort to facilitate healthy dialogue around equity and access in education, in America, and throughout the world.
