Equity and Excellence in Education.
Community Conversations promotes awareness and mobilizes intentional action to eliminate institutional disparities in New Hanover County Schools and address systemic injustice as it relates to Black and Brown children.
#IAmLEANDRO
Did you know, according to Leandro v. NC, the state is required to invest $5.54B in early childhood education and K-12 public schools? The Social Justice & Racial Equity Institute of NCCU invites people across the state to join us for a reception, presentation and panel discussion. Learn about the case from key voices and experts and consider our call to action. We invite teachers & students; parents & principals; business, health and faith leaders, public officials and concerned citizens to work in a concerted way to move Leandro out of the courtroom and into the classroom.
Advocating for Good Policy
The first step to effective advocacy is understanding the issues. Come here to stay up to date with what is happening with county and state educational racial equity policy. Join us in taking informed action!
Building Community
We are not just waiting for change, we are the change. To change the culture, we must learn how to connect and collaborate. We believe this happens with safe and healing communication. We create opportunities for positive, cross-cultural interaction. We invite people to grow, grow together and collectively become the change we want to see in the world.
Community Engagement
Education happens within the context of a larger community. Our approach extends beyond the school to help ensure students have the necessary support to do their best learning.
“Our Kids. Our Village.”
— Rebecca Trammel, Lead Advocate of Community Conversations
