Abstract

ABSTRACT In this article, co-authors Brian Mooney, Joniesha Hickson, Aaleah Oliver, and Jahvel Pierce discuss language, race, and education with author April Baker-Bell. Speaking from their perspectives as teachers, scholars, researchers, poets, spiritual leaders, and cultural workers, their experiences address the importance of sustaining a Black linguistic consciousness within and outside of classrooms where students experience Anti-Black Linguistic Racism. This intergenerational dialogue and critical cultural cypher reflect the linguistic counter-space the authors co-constructed through Hip Hop and spoken word at a high school in New Jersey. The cypher addresses the article’s central question: What is Black linguistic consciousness and how do we sustain it for liberation, equity, and excellence in education?
