David Gillborn - Teachers Make a Difference

The transcript discusses the impact of two influential teachers on the speaker's life. The first was an elementary school teacher who helped the speaker, who has dyslexia, avoid being placed in a remedial class. The second was Professor Stuart Hall, whose teachings on anti-racism inspired the speaker's research and activism. The transcript also highlights issues of racial bias in education and the importance of struggling against racism, even when it seems insurmountable.
