Please join us for the 10th Annual Let’s Talk Racism Conference! Our theme this year is Curating Change: The Art of Activism in Education. This event will occur Saturday, March 21st from 9:00am - 4:00pm , in Durham at North Carolina Central University.

The purpose of this event is to give K-12 educators and pre-service teachers an opportunity to engage in sessions centered on building liberatory, culturally-affirming learning spaces that dismantle systemic racism in schools and beyond. While educators are the target audience, we welcome all community members to participate.

The planning collaborative is thrilled to announce Keith Knight as our keynote speaker! Knight is an award-winning cartoonist, musician, and educator whose work has been lauded for its sharp wit, political insight, and ability to blend humor with hard truths. Best known for his comic strips The K Chronicles, (th)ink, and The Knight Life, Knight has spent decades using comics as a lens to examine race, class, identity, and the absurdities of everyday life.

The Let's Talk Racism Conference is co-hosted by an Education Collaborative composed of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream, and we are (working to extend anti-racist education, Inc).

Únase a nosotros en la 10ª Conferencia Anual Hablemos de Racismo. El tema de este año es Hacer sitio a las voces de hoy: Curando el cambio: el arte del activismo en la educación. Este evento de un día tendrá lugar el sábado 21 de marzo de 9:00am - 4:00pm , en Durham en la Universidad Central de Carolina del Norte.

El objetivo de este evento es brindar a los educadores de K-12 y a los profesores en formación la oportunidad de participar en sesiones centradas en la creación de espacios de aprendizaje liberadores y culturalmente afirmativos que desmantelen el racismo sistémico en las escuelas y más allá. Aunque los educadores son el público objetivo, invitamos a todos los miembros de la comunidad a participar.

El comité de planificación está encantado de anunciar a Keith Knight será nuestro ponente principal! Knight es un galardonado dibujante, músico y educador cuyo trabajo ha sido elogiado por su agudo ingenio, su perspicacia política y su capacidad para combinar el humor con verdades incómodas. Conocido sobre todo por sus tiras cómicas The K Chronicles, (th)ink y The Knight Life, Knight lleva décadas utilizando los cómics como lente para examinar la raza, la clase, la identidad y las absurdidades de la vida cotidiana.

La Conferencia Hablemos de Racismo está coorganizada por una Colaboración Educativa compuesta por la heladería Ben & Jerry's y we are (trabajando para ampliar la educación antirracista).
