A New Education is Possible-Moderator, John H. Jackson
Description: Seventy years after Brown vs Board of Education, schools in America remain separate and unequal. School districts predominantly serving students of color receive $23 billion less in funding than majority-white districts. Race is among the strongest predictors of whether students can access advanced math and science courses. Issues such as school privatization, inequities in standardized testing, broadband access, the use of proctoring technologies, and the weaponization of plagiarism software create barriers for students and educators from K-12 through higher education, hindering upward mobility. The attack on race-conscious admissions occurs when AI is set to generate trillions of dollars in wealth. As AI is revolutionizing access to knowledge, now is the time to reimagine the possibilities for public education once and for all.

Mary McLeod Bethune is a fascinating and impactful figure who lived between 1878 and 1955. In her time, she sought to inspire all who were in her orbit to struggle for freedom and equality. She led social justice organizations like the NAACP, built both colleges and hospitals, and served as the first Black person to head a federal agency. Her life is a testament to the power of imagination and hard work and this talk will introduce you to who Mrs. Bethune was, and explain why we should remember her today.
