A Black Education Congress (ABEC) represents the vision of a network of Black educators and activists in the United States, Canada and the Caribbean. Our intention is to give explicit attention to inter-generational collaboration to elevate and celebrate “what works” for children of African ancestry in educational settings and to “pass the torch” to those coming on behind us.
We envision a Congress of working delegates and praxis teams who represent educators at all levels, parents, students and community activists. To effect our agenda, the intentional integration of knowledge systems from pre-school to higher education, family and community-based learning, including the arts, are required.
