Description:

We invite you to join Teaching for Change for fun, food, and fellowship as we celebrate our 25th anniversary year and honor key allies. To purchase tickets or become a sponsor click here (admission is $40).

We will hear from noted educators Greg Carr (Howard University) and Enid Lee (co-editor of Beyond Heroes and Holidays). Honorees include renowned children’s book author Eloise Greenfield, school principals Marta Palacios and Carmen Shepherd, and the SNCC Legacy Project. Special guests also include legendary go-go performers Ju-Ju and Sweet Cherie. Bring books for signing because in addition to Enid Lee and Eloise Greenfield, attendees include James Loewen (Lies My Teacher Told Me) and Marita Golden (Long Distance Life.)

Teaching for Change is developing a D.C. Social Justice Teaching Resource Guide to be distributed at the event, and to teachers in the area throughout the year. This printed and online resource will give teachers interested in social justice the information they need about local and national resources and opportunities.
