Abstract

The paper illustrates the digital narratives of 219 Black students within the K-12 educational setting of a large West coast state in the United States. The researchers employed the method of storytelling to analyze Instagram posts created by students, which aimed to shed light on the various forms of injustice experienced by Black students. These online contributions effectively revitalized the significance of Black students' narratives and encounters with racism. The authors posit that educational institutions should reconsider their approach to mitigating the negative consequences encountered by Black students within educational environments. The present study serves as a call to action for educators and stakeholders to confront systemic anti-Blackness and create inclusive educational environments that prioritize the well-being and success of all students. Through collective effort and a commitment to antiracist practices, we can work towards a more equitable and just educational system. Addressing objectification and Whiteness requires a comprehensive approach that surpasses individual actions. Educators must acknowledge the ramifications of racially insensitive behavior and its impact on Black students in K-12 environments.
