The Fight for Education Equity in New York City 

Just announced! Members of student-led activist group Teens Take Charge will join this program for a talk-back following the workshop. Register now for this opportunity to hear from students at the forefront of today’s movement for education equity.

MCNY educators will lead a workshop examining stories and sources that bring this history to life from 5-6:15pm. Our talk-back with Teens Take Charge student activists will run from 6:15 to 7pm. This program now offers 2 CTLE hours to eligible participants. 

Participate in this online workshop exploring the intersections of civil rights activism, education, and the history of today's movement to desegregate New York City schools. 

Analyze sources from the online exhibition Activist New York; learn how students, teachers, and parents mobilized for change; and leave with stories, resources, and ideas for your digital classroom. 

This workshop is geared towards educators but is open to all with interest in the topic.
