This article makes a case for why Black Language (BL) must be a part of teachers’ conceptualizations of multilingualism in U.S. contexts. BL is a living linguistic legacy, an embodiment of Black culture, and much more than simply a list of distinct grammatical features. For teachers to move toward dispositions and language and literacy pedagogical practices that are inclusive, just, and anti‐racist, they must become aware of and interrogate their real trouble with BL through guided and continuous critical, introspective, and reflexivity. After providing a brief linguistic understanding of BL, the author describes what happens when Black adolescents and adults discover that their language has a name, a rich history, and global influence‐‐it marks the onset of their Black Linguistic Consciousness‐raising (Baker‐Bell, 2020). The article ends with recommendations and resources for how teachers can start and continue to stand for anti‐racist linguistic justice in the classroom contexts and beyond.
