Students of Color have been mistreated in education for a variety of reasons. Current literature and reports documented mistreatment, which Students of Color have experienced for many years. Mistreatments known as microaggressions, which are insults or slights that make a person from a marginalized group feel less valued, are especially flagrant in the public school setting. The purpose of this self-study was to determine the impact microaggressions may have had on Black male and Black school leader identity. This study gives a first-person account of how microaggressions in K-12 public schools have directly impacted identity. The data collected through journaled critical incidents and Currere provided the methodology needed to purposefully reflect on the impact of microaggressions on identity. The data collected led to the themes of Pride, Protection and Understanding. The study also was prominent in determining the role resilience and Family of Origin played in Black male and Black male leader identity. The self-study also has the potential to play a prominent role in promoting values and ethics that are required and expected for leaders in educational administration. Educators can use this self-study to improve upon their own practices and raise consciousness about the impact of microaggressions in the school setting. The self-study has the potential to teach other educators and educational school leaders to accept responsibility for the treatment of Students of Color within the public school setting.
