I Dream a World

 by Langston Hughes  

Glory

 One dream can change the world.  

Black History is made every day

The Crisis Magazine is the official publication of the NAACP

  We live in a society that has intentionally left Black narratives out of the American memoir while simultaneously standing on the backs and shoulders of Black individuals. Black people’s accomplishments and gains deserve a place in history outside of Black History Month.

what I hear when you say...

A PBS video series that explores how words can both unite and divide us depending on our own perspective, experience, and interpretation. Each episode covers a different phrase or term that challenges what we think we know about race, class, gender, and identity. While these topics may be difficult to discuss, starting with a shared understanding will help us connect with one another.​

Words matter. Hate has no home here.

 

 

Embrace Race

Learning for Justice

Learning for Justice

 Embrace Race is a community of adults of all colors,  who support each other in efforts to raise and guide children who are inclusive, informed and brave when it comes to race.

Learning for Justice

Learning for Justice

Learning for Justice

Tolerance is not justice. It isn’t a sufficient description of the work we do or of the world we want. We want to honor this truth: that learning from—and with—one another is the first step to making justice real. 


Learning together

EXPLORE MORE. DO BETTER.

  One can have the “right” attitude, considerable self-awareness, and knowledge about cultural differences, yet still lack humanity.
