"Rap Away Racism"
Here I am introducing my students to perform a piece they wrote and choreographed entitled "Rap Away Racism". They are students from Maplewood Richmond Heights Elementary in St. Louis, MO performing at the Educators for Social Justice Curriculum Conference in 2014. This video is one example of what my students have been empowered to do after experience with anti-ism social justice education.
