- Description:
- Introduction: "This opening quote by Young comes from a response to an audience member who was verbally grappling with their inability to see the violence taking place and enabled through the promotion of a standardized English in the college classroom. Notably, this aspect of “justice” is immediately connected to the violence done to Black lives as Young is presenting “Making Black Lives Matter in Online Spaces: Lessons for Critical Literacy Education” at the Symposium on Writing at the University of Washington Tacoma. For Young the oppression and dominance of white literacy is a real violence upon Black lives as he connects this enforcement to portrayals of physical attack on Black lives in educational settings and the use of African American Vernacular to the justification of criminalizing Black identity. It is important to note that the physicality of this violence is merely one layer to the systematic integration of oppression created through the enforcement of a white education. . . ."
