Note to Readers: This edition of The Blackness Continues: One Man’s Ongoing Mission for Equitable Education includes the same impactful content as the original 2021 release of The Blackness Continues with the addition of a new cover and subtitle, a foreword by his son, Peter 'PC' Carter, reflecting on his father’s lasting influence and dedication to justice, and three previously unpublished articles from his Around Town column in the Cape Gazette newspaper.The Blackness Continues: One Man’s Ongoing Mission for Equitable Education is a thought-provoking continuation of Peter E. Carter’s journey through the triumphs and trials of a Black man dedicated to educational equity. Following his retirement in 2004, Carter remained a powerful advocate, serving as an Expert Witness, Interim Superintendent, and champion for marginalized students. In these roles, he continued to confront the same biases and barriers that shaped his early career-some schools welcomed his expertise, while others resisted.In this powerful follow-up to A Black First: Leading Through Educational Barriers and Biases, Carter explores the complexities of being a Black leader in education and the challenges Black children still face in their pursuit of success. 'How do Black lives succeed?' he asks. His mother’s words-'By being exceptionally good at what you do'-were his guiding principle as he persevered.Fans of Carter’s first book, educators seeking insight into the nuances of educating Black children, and trailblazers who know the loneliness of being the ’first’ will be inspired by his mission. Carter’s experiences, even beyond retirement, reveal the commitment required to drive change in a system still resistant to equity. His legacy demonstrates that, while life often seems black and white, exceptional has no color.
