WHAT WILL YOU DO?
Explore Equity & Social Justice EducationUsing world renowned educational leader and best-selling author, Baruti Kafele's, book, The Equity & Social Justice Education to guide our presenters and discussions.

"Any and all aspects of social and racial justice have historical implications. In order to fully understand contemporary social and racial justice issues...you have to understand what got us to this point. You have to understand history relative to Black-white relations. As an educator of Black children, what do you know about the history of Black people in America? How familiar are you with the past four centuries of Black existence in America?" |
