Abstract | Addressing sensitive issues of race and ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and gender can be daunting for any instructor, and add to this teaching at an institution in the Deep South with a long history of racial tension beginning with the integration of the University and the not so popular emblems it has been known for. The author was apprehensive at best during the first day of class, but as the term moved forward, and she realized that she did not have to be the "angry Black woman" taking on all causes for African Americans and women, what evolved was honest and intense conversations on such topics as: Is there any validity to the terms "acting White or Black." This article presents the author's letter of thanks to her students in room 312. The letter is written to them to explain in detail how they renewed her passion for teaching future educators the importance of providing an equitable education to all students. As the author and her students discovered, race relations, or lack of them, greatly impact the education of minority students and girls in pre-K-12 education, as well as their opportunities to extend their education in institutions of higher learning.
