Our Question: What does this mean for classrooms? for curriculum? for literacies?

LAST NOTE:
- Sign-up for your chapter in the final reading: True to the Language Game by Keith Gilyard
- Think about the longtitudinal view: if we think about research and educational change related to African American language and literacies, what do we do in the next five years? the next ten years? the next twenty years?
