Hi, John,

As we reflect on history, we recognize the pivotal moments that have shaped our fight for justice and equality. This year marks the 70th anniversary of the landmark U.S. Supreme Court case, Brown v Board of Education, a milestone in our nation’s journey toward educational equity and civil rights.

To commemorate the historic occasion, Color Of Change is proud to present a special episode of our Black History Now Live Series in partnership with the National Education Association. Join us on Friday, May 17, 2024, for the premiere of “Educating for Equity: Brown v Board of Education 70 Years Later,” a virtual commemoration, as we delve into the legacy of this groundbreaking case and its relevance to present-day challenges facing our public education system.

The episode will feature interviews with esteemed intergenerational thought leaders, including:

* Rashad Robinson, president of Color Of Change
* Rebecca S. “Becky” Pringle, president of the National Education Association
* Marley Dias, student activist, author, NEA ambassador and founder of #1000BlackGirlBooks
* George “Conscious” Lee, educator, content creator and host of the “Black History, For Real” podcast
* Alice O’Brien, general counsel of the National Education Association
* Erin Freeman, a public school educator based in Florida

The episode explores the critical intersections of race, education, how the end of affirmative action is impacting education and how we can continue to advocate for the protection of public education and the inclusion of Black history in our classrooms.

Tune into Color Of Change’s YouTube [link removed] and Facebook [link removed] channels on Friday, May, 17, at noon EDT/9 a.m. PDT to watch the premiere of “Educating for Equity: Brown v Board of Education 70 Years Later” as we honor the legacy of the landmark decision and look at what’s ahead.

Together, through our ongoing partnerships with organizations like the National Education Association, Color Of Change has demonstrated our commitment to defending Black history and education and trained 1,100 local leaders across the country in the last seven months.

Working together, we can build power to make positive changes in our education system that our communities want and our children deserve.

Until Justice Is Real,
The Color Of Change Team
