LIBERATORY EDUCATION
State of Education Conference







A Premiere Conference Focused on Africa and its Worldwide Diaspora
The annual conference is an educational forum about Africa and its worldwide Diaspora. It reaches a widespread and diverse audience: students, parents, teachers, school administrators, academic scholars, social justice activists, leaders in philanthropy, and other stakeholders who are eager to learn about the history, representation, and contemporary role of Africa and its worldwide Diaspora. Focusing on themes ranging from the climate crisis and reparations to culturally responsive teaching, to the meaning of “African diaspora,” the State of Education Conference brings together a broad intellectually curious and socially conscious audience.
