My sincere desire is that after you have had an opportunity to read this volume you will, indeed, engage in some courageous conversations about race′ - Gloria Ladson-Billings, Professor, University of Wisconsin-Madison and author of The Dreamkeepers Singleton looks at the achievement gap through the prism of race, and in Courageous Conversations About Race, he begins by examining the evidence that points to race-not poverty-as the underlying cause behind the achievement gap.

Singleton calls this process "courageous conversations." Through these "courageous conversations," educators can learn how to redesign curriculum and create community and true equity. Action steps to close the achievement gap include creating an equity team and collaborative action research.
