Abstract
This Article discusses how faculty can substantively address white supremacy in the law school curriculum as part of the Movement for Black Lives. Because legal education sets how law students are taught to think about public policy and racial justice in the legal system, law schools' failure to educate students critically about white supremacy in the core law school curriculum makes them active participants in the legal system's devaluation of Black lives.
