"We, as teachers, know our sphere of influence. Our students. We read new books with them in mind. When our research hands us hard problems, we know that we don't have to wrestle with them by ourselves. Most importantly, we recognize our power and know where we can use it."-Matthew R. Kay, Not Light, but Fire: How to Lead Meaningful Race Conversations in the Classroom
"We want our students to consider our classrooms relevant to their world and responsive to their needs, so when world events dredge up new discussion needs, we shouldn't inadvertently signal that students should save them for the hallway, the lunchroom, and their social media."-Matthew R. Kay, Not Light, but Fire: How to Lead Meaningful Race Conversations in the Classroom
"What race subjects should our students be engaging? Which stories should be told? Which histories examined? Considering this book's chief assertion--there is a difference between 'light' and 'fire,' between empty and meaningful--how do teachers pick the proper fuel for their students' race discourse?"-Matthew R. Kay, Not Light, but Fire: How to Lead Meaningful Race Conversations in the Classroom
