Today, more than a dozen state legislatures passed laws that deny their public-school students the right to learn truthful history; and many of the laws deny teachers and others access to training to improve cultural and racial competencies. Freedom To Learn Summer supports the development of cultural and racial competencies for students, parents, teachers, and community change makers. To be effective collaborators within the most diverse citizenry of any preceding generation, we require an understanding of the role of race in our lives, our histories, and our future. |

FAQ I'm busy at that time - will it be recorded? Yes! Sign up by Saturday at 10am PST and you'll have access to all 5 keynote addresses and one panel discussion for a week after the event ends. Are there scholarships available? Yes! We set a tuition of $64 in honor of the original Freedom Summer in 1964, and so we could pay our affinity group facilitators, but we don't want anyone to miss out if they want to attend. Reply to this email with the amount you CAN pay and I'll send you a promo code. |
