| Abstract: | This article builds upon more than 6 years of critical research in urban schools in northern California to offer a particular
perspective on teaching for social justice. Concerned with prevailing issues in adolescent literacy, this article examines
instantiations of literacy instruction in the shadow of the late activist poet June Jordan and with the support of Pulitzer
Prize-winning author Alice Walker. It focuses on culturally responsive pedagogy to understand not only their work but also
the work of teachers and other educators. Central to the discussion are two kinds of pedagogical innovations, one based on
a school-community partnership and the other a district-wide sponsored writing contest. Implications for classroom practice
and key lessons useful for teachers interested in similar work are also discussed.
