In this workshop students will examine critically the historical, pedagogical, cultural, and social underpinnings and issues related to the “schooling” of African Americans. Participants will trace major paths, efforts and movements pursued by African Americans during the period of early informal training prior to the reconstruction era up through the Brown v Board of Education decision, Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s and the ensuing Black Power movement. A primary focus will additionally include a critical examination and analysis of the contemporary urban school reform movement, and the public and charter school movements pursued doing the mid 2000s. Guest panel experts will offer perspectives on an array of critical topics related to the historical and contemporary issues of access, content, and context in African American schooling and education.
