The Foundation for Child Development is launching a Scholars of Color Series on Wednesday, February 23rd highlighting the contributions of scholars of color in the early care and education field and the vital relevance of their work in improving the lives of young children today. Join us for a special virtual event dedicated to the life and timeless work of Dr. Asa G. Hilliard III (1933–2007) at 1pm EST.
As a psychologist, teacher, and historian, Dr. Hilliard was a preeminent scholar whose research influenced the fields of education, child development, and social policy. His pioneering work on child assessment, teaching and curriculum, and African culture was grounded in his commitment to promote the genius and excellence of all children. His enduring legacy continues to have relevance for the preparation and practice of the professionals who educate young children.
Attendees will have an opportunity to join the conversation and pose questions during a live Q&A session.
