This paper seeks to link the human zoo era of the 19th and 20th century to the current state of education for Black American children. The linkage is created by analyzing the historical context of the exhibition era, the construction of the “savage”, and the ways in which it reveals itself present-day through the criminalization and adultification of Black boys and girls in the classroom.
