When I think about the current issues that we’re facing in our education system, hooks was ahead of her time in pointing out these very issues. She understood the assignment of fighting for an equitable world and dedicated her life to ensure that all of us understood it as well. Never one to hold back her words, hooks spoke with powerful conviction and an unbridled confidence that pushed all of us to tap into the power of our own voices. As evidenced in Ain’t I a Woman, All About Love, Teaching to Transgress, and many of her seminal works, hooks always kept her finger on the pulse of our educational landscape. Undoubtedly one of the most prominent scholars of our generation, bell hooks possessed the uncanny ability to use her words to paint a portrait of possibility for love, liberation, and justice. This week, we gained an ancestor who sadly left our physical world way too soon. ![]()
