Reviews[The book] dives into the complicated truth of American history...I was moved by the ways Moore's bold and accessible offering tackles the notion that teaching Black history is an anti-white endeavor., University of Texas at Austin Professor of American History Leonard Moore draws on decades of his in-classroom experience teaching Black history to white people to illustrate the importance of Black history education for everyone and anyone. Using his time in the classroom and his own personal history, Moore creates an engaging book that marries personal anecdotes and pedagogy to create something all anti-racists should read., A trenchant survey of Black history--and an argument for why every American, of every ethnicity, needs to learn it...An important, sympathetic effort to elucidate matters of Black lives while expanding intellectual horizons., [A] timely book...Moore guides readers--many of whom Moore, who is Black, presumes will be white--through Black history and his own personal experience in academia., An important book that joins the ranks of Isabel Wilkerson's Caste , Henry Lewis Gates's Stony the Road: Reconstruction, White Supremacy, and the Rise of Jim Crow , and James W. Loewen's Lies My Teacher Told Me in assuring that all of American history is preserved and taught., Moore is a scholar and professor of history whose passion for teaching oozes off the page... Teaching Black History to White People illustrates his uniquely engaging pedagogy that has won awards and made Moore a highly respected and sought-after professor and speaker...What I like most about this book is that Moore explains how teaching Black history, something he's done for three decades, was different during the 2020 racial uprisings, and he provides actionable insights for white people (or any non-Black person) to counteract anti-Blackness and racism in America., Engaging and thought-provoking for a wide range of readers...Moore sets forth provocative questions--for instance, 'What came first? Slavery or racism?'--while simultaneously providing complex, nuanced answers.

SynopsisLeonard Moore has been teaching Black history for twenty-five years, mostly to white people. Drawing on decades of experience in the classroom and on college campuses throughout the South, as well as on his own personal history, Moore illustrates how an understanding of Black history is necessary for everyone. With Teaching Black History to White People , which is ?part memoir, part Black history, part pedagogy, and part how-to guide,? Moore delivers an accessible and engaging primer on the Black experience in America. He poses provocative questions, such as ?Why is the teaching of Black history so controversial?? and ?What came first: slavery or racism?? These questions don?t have easy answers, and Moore insists that embracing discomfort is necessary for engaging in open and honest conversations about race. Moore includes a syllabus and other tools for actionable steps that white people can take to move beyond performative justice and toward racial reparations, healing, and reconciliation., Leonard Moore has been teaching Black history for twenty-five years, mostly to white people.
