ABSTRACT This essay analyzes literary and theoretical approaches to teaching the Black Lives Matter Movement in a college class. By focusing on the prevalence of memoir as a way of capturing responses to racial violence, surveillance, and police brutality, this essay argues that narratives of vulnerability and radical declarations of Black lives mattering in the classroom provide a unique site of context for black liberation movements and other Black Lives Matter Syllabi. In addition, the essay attends to students’ difficulties in a course dedicated to analyzing black dispossession and death.
