What does it mean to legitimize Black English?
What will be an ideal response?
Black English, or Ebonics, is the language form that many African American children speak in their homes and neighborhoods. Often, this form is denigrated in schools. The legitimization of Black English would enrich the curriculum and provide valuable lessons to all students about sociolinguistics and the contexts in which standard and nonstandard forms are appropriate. The necessary prerequisite for this inclusion would be a mandatory program for teachers and school administrators to educate them about the nature and history of Ebonics.
