actor/performer “Common”, along with his mother Dr. Mahalia Hines, Dr. Chike Akua. Freddie Taylor and Reverend Jessie Jackson have graced us with their presence as well at the conference. Bridging statistics with the genius behind what I have witnessed in my work across the state and country, another goal of Cultural Practices That Are Relevant is to bring people together to share what we know will change the data that places Wisconsin last on the Department of Education and NAEP lists in graduation rates, reading scores, standardized math scores, out of school suspensions, prison rates, experiencing poverty, health disparities and other areas for Black students and families who call Wisconsin “Home”. The Black History Education Conference experience is intended to provide a venue where members from home, school and communities across the state and country will be able to share policies, practices, programs and procedures that have proven effective in promoting high levels of achievement for those often being under served in our school systems and communities. Continuing to think with the idea of “communalism” in mind, we are asking that you open your heads, hands and hearts to collaborate with us to close the stark gaps that exist for many of the students and families that we serve in our community and across the country. With all of this information in mind, we would like
to ask you to strongly consider partnering with us by becoming a sponsor for the Annual Black History Education Conference.
