The Southern Black community catalyzed the movement for free public schools for all children. This community also led the efforts to desegregate schools. Despite these efforts, the South remains home to some of the largest educational inequities within our nation. Yet, many discussions about educational equity are devoid of Southern representation. This is problematic considering that Southern states have higher rates of poverty and are home to one-third of all K-12 students, 56% of all Black students, and one-third of our nation’s ELL and migrant student populations.

This webinar attempts to elevate the Southern voice in the discussion on educational equity, as well as explore the unique historical, political, social and economic challenges facing educational leaders as they lead for equity in a Southern context.
