The Road Forward: The Future of Black Education in the 21st Century

Talks and moderated discussion with Dr. Na'ilah Suah Nasia and Dr. Tyrone Howard

These talks and moderated discussion (led by UCSB professor Jeffrey Stewart) are part of a day-long event of activities that feature faculty and graduate and undergraduate students engaged in serious discussion about what we have learned over the last six years from research about what works in stimulating achievement amont Black children and what punitive challenges African American learners face when trying to learn. Attendees will hear about new strategies in education succeeding in the Oakland school system and the targeting and labeling of students as pre-criminal in the Los Angeles school system. Achievement is a struggle in Black America. What strategies exist to make this struggle to learn more successful? That is our question and our charge.
