This book builds on Ernest's personal experiences, including a viral 2016 hate crime incident that profoundly shaped his career.

He captured the moment on video, sparking a national conversation about the importance of confronting and addressing discrimination.

Ernest delves deep into the stories of Black excellence, resistance, and perseverance. He equips families, parents, and educators with the tools they need to combat racism in everyday life and within schools. Through his lens as a parent and former teacher, Ernest demonstrates how the untold stories of Black history hold the keys to understanding the roots of racism and how it can be untaught, as well as teaches readers how to deconstruct racist systems and foster equitable practices in their communities.
