ABFE Webinar: The Unfinished Business of Brown v. Board of Education
June 18, 2014, 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm EST

What are the educational options for Black children and families? How will the philanthropic community address these dynamics? What strategies are working and what are we still missing? How are people as individuals seeking to achieve their vision of equity in education? Is it time for a revolution -- and will youth lead it?

Join ABFE for a multi-media webinar and provocative conversation as we explore the legacy of Brown, the Freedom Summer youth movement, and the current trends, philanthropic solutions and challenges that must be addressed to support the next generation of education advocacy.

For more information, contact Edward Jones at [email protected].
