The 70th Anniversary of Brown v Board - Do It Live!

 Dreams really do come true . . . We have wanted to do a live show for quite some time, and finally had the opportunity thanks to The National Coalition for School Diversity, The Century Foundation, and the American Institutes for Research,who invited us to facilitate their event marking the 70th anniversary of Brown v Board. Hosted at the National Museum of African American History and Culture, on the Oprah Winfrey Stage, we were honored to facilitate three panel discussions grappling with the challenges we face today in fulfilling the true promise of Brown.  Joined by an amazing group of speakers, all deeply committed to doing integration better, we brought the nuanced, honest conversations you know from the podcast to a live audience for the first time, and hopefully not the last. From the incredible Representative Jim Clyburn, to past podcast guests, Stefan Lallinger and Matt Gonzales, to many others, we are thrilled to share excerpts from the event today. You can also watch the full program.   LINKS: Brown v Board at 70: Fulfilling the True Promise of School Integration - the full event video Speaker Bios  Stefan Lallinger on our show - S7E3 – Generational Work: Stefan Lallinger on Integration Matt Gonzales on our show - S5E12 – COVID-19: Matt Gonzales on Equity The Bridges Collaborative at The Century Foundation Check out our Bookshop.org storefront to support local bookstores, and send a portion of the proceeds back to us.
