Equity, Race, Revolution & Reform in US Education: What has (not) changed? an anniversary program

COMING THIS WEEK on the Education Town Hall —
To honor Black History Month and the Education Town Hall’s anniversary, join us on February 18, as host Thomas Byrd leads a conversation on where we are in U.S. education, in terms of equity, race, revolution & reform:  What has, and has not, changed since the mid-20th Century in U.S. education? Which, if any, school reform furthered racial equityWhat revolutions in education — in the classroom, through homeschooling, or otherwise — have succeeded, however locally or shot-term? Do mid-20th Century observations on education — from James Baldwin, Shirley Chisholm, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Black Panthers — still apply after 50 years or more?
