“TJ Crowley reminded me of people I know. The way he started seeing things differently made me ask how I act around people who are different from me.”

“This audio drama made me feel uncomfortable in a way that was good. It made me want to learn more.”

“The spirituals were my favorite part. They made it feel like you were hearing the soul of the people who had to fight just to live.”

“TJ Crowley led my students to ask mature, challenging questions about their own communities, their own moral choices, and the history of our city. One of the best classroom experiences in my 17 years of teaching.”
— Amanda Harcus, gifted educator, Horace Mann Dual Language Magnet

“The Real Education of TJ Crowley is one of the most popular books in my classroom library. My students connect to TJ, Ivy, and their classmates in the way great books do: both entertaining and challenging them. The questions the book raises about identity, class, and family resonate with young women and men encountering a world with injustice and conflict for the first time.”
— Dave McIntire, Kansas History Teacher of the Year, Pembroke Hill School

“This is a book that demands discussion. Read it in a group and talk genuinely about history and its important connection to current society.”
