In this month’s episode, we celebrate Black History Month by diving into the importance of honoring Black history, leadership, activism and impact in schools and public education. LACOE’s equity, diversity and inclusion leaders Dr. Jamaal Williams and Dr. Tyisha Noise share insights on how schools and districts can properly recognize and celebrate Black history, not just during February but throughout the year. Discover why it's essential to view Black history as integral to American history and learn how all individuals can actively support the Black community. This episode isn’t just a conversation; it’s a call to action for educators, students, and advocates to join us in ensuring that Black history isn’t just acknowledged but woven into the very fabric of our educational systems.
