The conditions that preserve dark suffering are the result of hundreds of years and multiple continents’ commitment to creating and maintaining destructive, insidious, racist ideals that uphold White supremacy and anti-Blackness.

But education from the outset was built on White supremacy, anti-Blackness, and sexism.
