Gholdy Muhammad's Cultivating Genius: An Equity-Based Approach to Culturally and Historically Responsive Literacy Instruction

Although many black individuals were freed far before the conclusion of the civil war, they were freed from slavery but were not free to participate as active members of the United States society. Sure, they were free, but that is essentially like someone being held prisoner on a boat, and then stating they are free because they get left in open waters.
