Students of color perform better when they see themselves accurately represented, and white students learn about the world as it really is—a complex multi-cultural place. A new report from the Education Trust, however, shows that those stories are few and far between. Although there have been improvements in character representation in recent years, the literary world that students experience is still predominantly white.
