Friday, April 1 | 8:00 AM - 9:30 AM | Puritan Conference Center, Manchester, NH
Join us as the Black Heritage Trail of NH in Partnership with the ACLU of NH will host Dr. Eddie S. Glaude Jr. for breakfast, keynote address,, and panel discussion entitled, "The Paradox of Education for Black."
In 1963, James Baldwin delivered his famous “A Talk To Teachers” (originally, “The Negro Child — His Self-Image”) to an audience of educators. Drawing upon this historic speech, Dr. Eddie S. Glaude Jr. brings the same issues — generational poverty, inequity, institutional racism—what Baldwin called being “born in the shadow of the stars and stripes” — into the educational environment of today. Dr. Glaude examines what Baldwin called “the paradox of education”: that education is designed to socialize one into the basic structure of society as it is, yet it is also designed to make you a critical thinker. What does that contradiction mean to Black and Brown children observing the ugliness in the worlds from which many of these children come? Dr. Glaude challenges educators, whom Baldwin called, “those who deal with the minds and hearts of young people” to become agents for societal change.
