Join author Rukia Monique Rogers for an intimate and inspiring look at the values, practices, and relationships of the Highlander School in Atlanta, Georgia, rooted in the vision of the beloved community as espoused by Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Sharing abundant stories and rich photography from the school, the book is both a critique of the history and status quo of how we have confined our thinking and practices and an invitation to reflect on who you are and how you want to reimagine early childhood programs. See the big picture and small details of a program that believes in the full human potential for care, love, and justice, strengthened by deep connections with the earth and each other. We invite you into a journey of profound promise and change.
“In my vision of freedom, I aspire for every child to step through the welcoming doors of Atlanta, Georgia’s Highlander School. The institution, as well as this book, serves as a conduit towards a world rooted in justice, compassion, love, and care. A heartfelt tribute to the transformative power of education, this book breathes life into Dr. King’s dream of a “Beloved Community.” With each beautiful image, engaging story, and thought-provoking reflection question, we draw nearer to our shared humanity. Prepare to hold this book close, cherishing its message just as I have.”
—Bettina L. Love, author of the NYT bestseller Punished for Dreaming
