Educational Justice and Equity (feat Congressman Jamaal Bowman)

On this week of the Black on Black education podcast, we had a very  special episode for you. This week we met for a in-person live recorded podcast session with a very special guest being New York's 16th  Congressional District's Congressman, Jamaal Bowman. The educational system has been created in a manner that creates substantial inequities that disproportionately hinders poor communities of color. We discussed what would educational justice look like through the lens of school  funding, having multiple student driven pathways to learning, student assessments, healthy school lunch and engaging students with curriculum  that reflect their experiences. Throughout this conversation both Eva and Jamaal along with multiple students got to ask Congressman Bowman both about the condition of the education system particularly the inequities in black and brown communities. Furthermore, we got to talk about the condition of both the Bronx and our nation involving recent news and events.
