Educating for Equity: Brown v Board of Education 70 Years Later [Video]

On May 17, 2024, Color Of Change and the National Education Association are commemorating the 70th anniversary of the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case, which has been a milestone in our nation’s journey toward educational equity and civil rights.

This virtual commemoration will include interviews from 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; and Erin Freeman, a public school educator based in Florida.

We’ll be exploring 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. Watch “Educating for Equity: Brown v. Board of Education 70 Years Later” to learn strategies for building power in your community to continue advocating for the protection of public education for our children and the inclusion of Black history in our classrooms.
