STUDENT STRAND THE Wisconsin’s Black Legacy: Leveraging the past to Build Futures
T he student strand of the Black History Educational Conference is specifically designed for middle and high school students, offering various educational and social outcomes. Firstly, it provides a plat- form for students to learn about and celebrate Black history, culture, and achievements. This helps to promote inclusivity, diversity, and understanding among our student community. The conference offers presentations presented by experts and ed- ucators in the field of Black history and culture. These presentations aim to educate students about significant present day and histori - cal events, influential figures, and important movements within the Black community. By engaging with these presenters students gain a deeper understanding of the struggles, contributions, and resil- ience of Black individuals throughout history. Students have the op- portunity to participate in interactive sessions where they can ask questions, share their perspectives, and engage in meaningful con- versations with their peers and presenters. This fosters a sense of empowerment, as students feel heard and valued in their learning environment. Furthermore, the conference enables students to develop leadership skills, cultural knowledge and build so- cial connections. They also get to meet and interact with like-minded individuals who share a passion for Black history and culture, fostering a sense of community and support. Overall, the student strand at the Black History Education Conference offers numerous ben- efits and we thank long time supporters such as Ari Davis, UCAN, Seein is Believin’, Carter G Woodson
