BUILDING COALITION FOR ABOLITION, LIBERATION AND BLACK JOY with DR. BETTINA LOVE

Culminating our amazing Black History Month acknowledgments, learnings, and celebrations will be a virtual visit from Dr. Bettina L. Love a courageous advocate and educator for reform, abolition and Black joy. In our theme of Building Coalition for Racial and Social Justice: past, present, and future, Oakwood is excited to engage with Dr. Love around the ways we can be co-conspirators within education. What does it look like to put something on the line for our students and our community? How can we carry the Black joy that we experienced during Black History Month into our entire school year? What must we understand about ourselves in order to truly embody education as a practice of freedom? Join us in unpacking these questions and more with Dr. Love, you won’t want to miss this valuable opportunity to connect with our community.
