Join The Center for a conversation with educators and activists exploring the disparities in our education system. As districts make decisions about how to approach the upcoming school year, access to quality education in a safe environment is becoming a more pressing concern. The program will explore potentials for anti-racist curricula, re-segregation of public schools, and how the COVID 19 pandemic will exacerbate the challenges that schools are facing. Get links to resources and opportunities to act by supporting students.
