| Abstract: | This paper presents the views and educational experiences of two African American female scholars, from a critical race and
black feminist theorist perspective, teaching in the area of social justice to predominantly white female pre-service teachers.
These testimonies reveal the struggles encountered by these scholars when engaging students in a historical and contemporary
examination of race, privilege, and systemic inequalities. The objectives of this paper are to expand on the literary dialogue
of such resistance and attempt to bring awareness into the arenas that need the most exposure, i.e. departmental, faculty,
and tenure review meetings. It is commonly written and verbalized that institutions are interested in attracting and retaining
faculty of color. We argue that the ways we are supported must shift. This problem of student resistance, who they resist
and why, should become open for discussion on college campuses across the nation.
