    Join us for Re-framing Black Art: A Matter of Social Justice Panel Discussion

    “Re-framing Black Art: A Matter of Social Justice” features visual artists and arts educators/administrators whose diverse perspectives significantly contribute to the contemporary landscape. The panel discussion refocuses Americans’ larger conversation about the value of Black lives onto the role public education must play in facilitating children’s processing and to responding to narrowly defined representations of Black Americans within the public pedagogy.

    The Crossover - School Integration: A Conversation Started 50 Years Ago

    Join us as author Eileen Sanchez and Michael Hicks discuss Freedom Lessons, the book marking the anniversary of the desegregation of schools in Louisiana known as "The Crossover." This event is co-sponsored with the Rutgers University Graduate School of Education Alumni Association (GSEAA).

    Part of the Coffee & Conversation Series, the discussion will underscore lifelong learning, the value of diversity, and the belief that life-changing events can result in meaningful connections from one generation to another.
