The detrimental effects of COVID-19, protests and calls for racial justice, and critiques of Critical Race Theory continue to illuminate persistent systemic inequities in the United States. Yet, the current historical, political, and social moment also demonstrates the multi-faceted reality of where Black Education lives. Historically and presently, Black Education lives in Black students of all ages, parents and families, teachers, leaders of community-based educational spaces, community members, organizers and more as they navigate their realities, thrive and succeed, and create anew. This moderated discussion features two extraordinary scholars in conversation about “Where Black Education Lives” and what it means to research with and about Black people, to participate in community endeavors to advance healthy and positive policies and practices, and to imagine new possibilities for Black education.
