Past Forward:

The Legacy of Racism in Modern-Day America

To raise thoughtful kids who are prepared to build a more equitable society, we have to reconsider how history and race are taught in our schools and in our homes.

Join us for a free ParentEd Talks event on Thursday, Jan. 19, a powerful presentation on the hidden history of racism in our country and how to forge a path forward. The talk features Khalil Gibran Muhammad, Ph.D., a professor of History, Race and Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School, along with activist Jeffery Robinson, founder of The Who We Are Project.
