The objective of this Color of Education summit is to highlight the intentional and cyclical nature of racial injustice in education. If the past is prologue when it comes to disparate treatment and outcomes for students and educators of color, then attendees should leave this summit with a clear grasp on past events, an understanding of how those events connect to the present, and concrete actions that can help education stakeholders who desire justice today.

“How do you change the story, you change the storyteller.” No truer words could have been spoken by National Geographic Explorer Noel Kok. For more than 134 years, the National Geographic Society has had the privilege of telling the world’s stories but not always from diverse perspectives or the perspectives of local communities. We are committed to changing this narrative and elevating new perspectives that need to be heard. During this session, we will share the work of National Geographic Explorers that transforms the way in which we view history along with educational resources that support these efforts.
