Black Power, Black Freedom Dreams, and Black Joy in Community Schools
Thu, April 11, 12:40 to 2:10pm, Pennsylvania Convention Center, Floor: Level 100, Room 112ASession Type: Symposium
Abstract
The proliferation of community schools in cities across the United States of America have provided districts an opportunity to address what they believe are serious social challenges in schools. Yet, some community schools may fall short of radically changing how marginalized groups experience schools. In this session, participants will question whether contemporary community school models can be tools for Black radical existence.
