Dr. H. Richard Milner, IV
Featured Speaker, Transformative Justice in Education Lecture
Five Educational Imperatives for Justice
Students living below the poverty line, those whose first language is not English, those who are Black and Brown, and those who might experience outside of school challenges across the United States are too often not experiencing optimal learning opportunities in schools. Centering issues of justice and equity, Milner discusses challenges we face in education and shares five imperatives necessary to more successfully meet the complex needs of students.
