This document discusses narratives of race, resistance, and language learning in college classrooms. It notes that as of 2014, over 70% of CUNY's nearly 250,000 students were students of color. It discusses how Black and Latinx students innovated with new technologies to push alternative knowledge and cultural productions. It also discusses new temporalities for learning outside the classroom informed by cultural and community movements. Finally, it lists several websites related to the author's teaching of courses on digital rhetorics, gender studies, African American rhetorics, and other topics at the intersection of education and Black radical traditions.

- 12. “They weren’t born from the body, they were born from the soul” “Mama Gave Birth to the Soul Children” by Queen Latifah featuring De La Soul (1989) Denied the integrity of our words, we lose possibility. In this sense our freedom depends directly upon our ability to represent the events of our lives… In telling the stories of our reality, both private and public, spiritual and material, we assert a future. The future, though always apparently beyond our control, is in actuality a continuing alternative, one we actively construct out of our understanding of past events… language powers the future. Gordon Pradl in his introduction to Prospect and Retrospect: Selected Essays of James Britton (1982)
- 13. The Fisk Continuum 1) shifting racial demographics at our public schools and colleges, first most notably achieved in the 1970s where, for instance, for the first time in U.S. educational history, as many black students attended PWCs as HBCUs 2) a black protest movement that innovates and relies on the newest, most available technologies in order to push forth alternative sites of knowledge, cultural rhetorics, new authoring, and textual productions 3) new temporalities for cross-spatial, non-classroom- contained learning where our students’ connections to justice and aesthetics are centrally and critically informed by cultural, popular, and community movements
