Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.THE TEACHER read with enthusiasm the well-worn book in her hand. The story ended, and the teacher looked around at the children. She will let one of them take the book home to read with their parents.
She gave it to the curly black-haired child who took it to his father.
It was at this juncture that I entered the story with an enraged parent complaining to me in the school playground . The book was Little Black Sambo. In 1999, African-Caribbean learners are faced with exclusions, under-achievement, abuse of every kind and racism invades every particle of their lives.
We must ensure that institutions employ quality teachers who reflect their culture and that teacher training initiates and implements multicultural, multi-ethnic, multi-faith training.
