Session 4: The Black Experience

“Race, Diversity, and Empowerment: Elevating BlackVoices in Education"

Session Led By: Dr. William Jackson, Fr. Principal of Nathan Hale High School


Black educators play a vital role in shaping the academic success, identity, and empowerment of students, yet they continue to face systemic barriers in education. This session will explore the experiences, challenges, and contributions of Black educators while providing actionable strategies to foster more inclusive and affirming learning environments.

Through a dynamic panel discussion featuring seasoned Black male educators, interactive activities, and solution-driven conversations, participants will:

  • Examine the current landscape of Black educators in education and its impact on student success.

  • Gain insights from diverse Black male educators on overcoming challenges and leading with resilience.

  • Explore best practices for creating culturally responsive and empowering classrooms.

  • Develop actionable steps to advocate for diversity, equity, and inclusion in schools.

Whether you are an educator, administrator, or community advocate, this session will provide a powerful opportunity to elevate Black voices, challenge systemic inequities, and create a more just and inclusive educational system.

This workshop is part of the EmpowerED Professional Development Series designed to support and uplift Black educators in their personal and professional lives.
