Public schools have a long history of sustaining racial inequality and segregation. But they have also provided inspiring models of anti-racism, witnessed in innovative teaching and curricula, collaborations between teachers, students and communities, and commitments to the transformation of our world.
In this webinar, we hear from two experienced panels that will share specific examples of the kinds of anti-racist teaching, learning, and collaboration underway in schools across the state.
