Hi, John,
Today’s the day!
We invite you to join Color Of Change and our partner, the National Education Association, as we present the premiere of “Educating for Equity: Brown v Board of Education 70 Years Later,” a virtual commemoration of the landmark U.S. Supreme Court decision that has been a milestone in our nation’s journey toward educational equity and civil rights.
Tune in today, Friday, May, 17, 2024, at noon EDT/9 a.m. PDT on COC’s YouTube and Facebook channels to watch this latest episode of our Black History Now Live Series.
Our esteemed group of thought leaders will talk about the legacy of this groundbreaking case and its relevance to current challenges facing our public education system. With today’s rampant wave of book bans, assaults on teaching Black history and the rollback of affirmative action sweeping school systems and universities across the nation, you don’t want to miss it!
The episode features:
- 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

Learn strategies for building power in your community to continue to advocate for the protection of public education for our children and the inclusion of Black history in our classrooms.

Until Justice Is Real,
