Declare Books As White Teacher/Black Mama
Ilustration Toward Books White Teacher/Black Mama
Before she got the phone call, Tiffany Lott Stevenson was at the end of her rope. Her son Oscar was having major behavioral problems in school. No one was willing to help. Instead, the white teachers and administration were all ready to write Oscar off as a “troubled black youth.” Tiffany was sure that his newest teacher, Anita Kelley D’Abbraccio, would be exactly the same. When Anita finally called, Tiffany was sure she too was giving up on Oscar.
Instead, Anita proposed a different solution. She wanted to work with Tiffany to come up with an action plan to address Oscar’s issues and change some of his troubled behavior.
As the two women began meeting to discuss Oscar’s progress, something amazing happened. They became friends. The two bonded based on their shared Christian faith and experiences as mothers. Tiffany wasn’t the only one who needed help with her family, and the two promised to be there for each other through the troubled times ahead.
In this heartwarming memoir, both the “white teacher” and the “black mama” show what this friendship has meant to them and how their bond has helped them through times of extraordinary hardship.

This book is so desperately needed! There is a real void in this double memoir genre combining so many powerful themes! You have; race relations, teacher-parent issues, labeling children, labeling African -American boys , socio-economic imbalances, child rearing, prejudices, mistrust, trust, and the list goes on. But at the end you have HOPE. You have HOPE for all of this messy American life. You cannot read this book without constant chills. I thought I had the flu for a while! D'Abbraccio andA must-read for every regular-ed and special-ed teacher!
What an beautiful experience that was reading this book. I literally laughed out loud, smiled, cringed, & cried on my journey. I felt their struggles & their happiness with each turn of the page. I enjoyed their insights & perspectives as they grew through their journey. I highly recommend this book to everyone, with a special emphasis on anyone that wants to broaden their perspective on people from different cultures & backgrounds. Its great for all teachers no matter where theyA must-read for every regular-ed and special-ed teacher!
