What kinds of messages are today's youth receiving in their lives? What
normative values are educational institutions creating for them? Where does
racism fit? What impact is it having? Is it being challenged and, if so,
how and by whom?
These are some of the questions the spring issue of Our Schools/Our Selves - Anti-Racism in Education: Missing in Action seeks to answer. In so doing, it identifies many of the challenges faced by Aboriginal and racialized people in our classrooms at all levels of the education system, and offers theoretical and practical approaches to addressing these challenges through educational policy and programs. It also examines the relationship of educational institutions to other public and private sector bodies as well as to broader societal values. Edited by author, poet and playwright Charles C. Smith, Anti-Racism in Education: Missing in Action is an exciting, ambitious, timely and challenging collection of articles by some of the founders of the anti-racism in education movement, as well as a number of new voices.

The CCPA’s bold vision and creative solutions help us imagine better futures for all. Its efforts to build bridges between labour, industry, and civil society and mentor young activists lay the foundation for realizing those provocative futures. I consider my support for the CCPA an investment in a better future for British Columbia.
