Race, Black masculinity, hip-hop culture, and education have an intricate relationship with one another. Matthew R. Morris is an educator and author who has dedicated much of his work to exploring racism in Canada’s school system. We discuss how we can make the classroom a more inclusive space, a phenomenon Matthew calls the Fresh Prince syndrome, and Matthew’s new book: Black Boys Like Me: Confrontations with Race, Identity, and Belonging.
