About The History of Institutional Racism in U.S. Public Schools In The History of Institutional Racism in U.S. Public Schools Susan DuFresne shakes us to our foundation with the historically accurate images she has created on the three fifteen foot panels, which Garn Press has transformed into a book that is destined to unite hearts and minds in the struggle for equity and justice for all children in America’s public schools.

“I felt the weight of historical injustice on my brush as I depicted the findings of my research,” Susan DuFresne explains. “But I also felt the tugging of my brush to depict the fight for justice, which is also there throughout history. Teachers especially have always been courageous in their resistance to racism and oppression, and I wanted to share this history to inspire others through the images I was painting to take up that truth and join the resistance movement to end institutional racism in public schools.”

Susan DuFresne is a teacher and activist as well as an artist of exceptional talent, and she has produced works of art that ignite strong reactions and inspire action. At Garn Press we anticipate that the book will encourage conversations within civil society about institutional racism and discrimination in U.S. public schools, and we share Susan’s expectation that the book will be studied by teachers and parents who want a re-Visioning of the role of public education in their children’s lives.

This is a book of hope as well as condemnation. The emphasis is on restorative justice and reconciliation.

The graphic depictions of the history of racism and discrimination unite the struggles of resistance movements – including Black Lives Matter and the Badass Teachers Association. It is a call for the reImagining of public schools as places of racial justice that welcome every child in a society that recognizes the nation has an ethical responsibility to honor the civil rights of children and ensures that each child has the very finest education U.S. public schools can provide. The author and Garn Press will donate a part of net profits to Black Lives Matter and to the Lakota People’s Law Project.
