We are witnessing a change in the social consciousness of people across the globe as they are rising up in protest against inequities, injustice, systemic racism, anti-Black racism, and other forms of oppression. Thousands of people are infected and dying from the COVID-19 pandemic which has impacted Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) disproportionately and has laid bare the structural inequities in healthcare and other aspects of society. The killing of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, by the police has sparked not only national outcry in the U.S. and across the globe against anti-Black racism and other forms of injustice, but also conversations on systemic racism and white supremacy and their manifestations in policies and the daily lives of BIPOC. In this article I examine the role the protests and social movements for racial and economic justice can play in achieving lasting change in dismantling system racism, white supremacy, and the structures and policies that uphold it. I urge educators and organizations such as the National Association for Multicultural Education to harness the energy of the moment to call for changes in education and schooling grounded in decolonizing theory and practice. I end by calling for a rethinking and reimaging of diversity, equity, inclusion, social justice, and multicultural discourses, which some have argued, given the ongoing presence and impact of white supremacy and systemic racism in all facets of society including education, have not achieved the intended goals and in some instances have been coopted by those advancing neoliberal and neocolonial agendas.

反思：利用社会运动的能量实现持久变革

我们正在目睹世界各地人们的社会意识发生变化，因为他们站起来抗议不平等、不公正、系统性种族主义、反黑人种族主义和其他形式的压迫。COVID-19 大流行对黑人、土著、有色人种 (BIPOC) 产生了不成比例的影响，并暴露了医疗保健和社会其他方面的结构性不平等，数千人因此感染和死亡。警察对手无寸铁的黑人乔治·弗洛伊德 (George Floyd) 的杀害不仅引发了美国乃至全球对反黑人种族主义和其他形式的不公正现象的全国抗议，还引发了关于系统性种族主义和白人至上主义及其表现形式的对话BIOC 的政策和日常生活。在本文中，我研究了争取种族和经济正义的抗议和社会运动在消除系统种族主义、白人至上主义以及维护它的结构和政策方面可以发挥的作用。我敦促教育者和诸如全国多元文化教育协会之类的组织利用当下的能量，呼吁以非殖民化理论和实践为基础的教育和学校教育变革。考虑到白人至上和系统性种族主义在包括教育在内的社会各个方面的持续存在和影响，我最后呼吁对多样性、公平、包容、社会正义和多元文化话语进行重新思考和重新构想，有些人已经提出了这一点，
