With Corporation support, the SEF will host an “Issues Forum” in November 2023. Discussion topics will focus on improving education attainment for African American students and other students of color and will feature experts, policy makers, practitioners and advocates who will share their insights and experiences. The forum will provide attendees with an opportunity to reflect on the historical strategies that enhanced African American education opportunity after the Civil War and emancipationand how they can inform current and future solutions for challenged student populations.
