  In Roundtable Session: #HBCUsMatter: Legacy Matters (Table 13)

Abstract

The Pulitzer Center invites teams of educators, administrators, content specialists, and curriculum supervisors for K-12 schools, school districts, and higher education institutions to apply for The 1619 Project Education Network. As part of this program, a cohort of teams explore key questions of racial justice and other pressing systemic issues in community with the Pulitzer Center education team. Our team, HBCUs Matter, utilizes case studies to design curriculum that emphasized liberatory approaches used by Black leaders at HBCUs. These cases highlight how these examples can inform liberatory education today, and our project exemplifies how collaboration between educators from K-12 and Minority Serving Institutions can create opportunities for sharing knowledge and improving culturally responsive pedagogical approaches at all levels.
