Good people! We did it. Thanks to you, your vision, and your generosity, we reached our goal. And this timely article in today's Times, http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/12/sunday-review/where-are-the-teachers-of-color.html, should remind us all why the work of Black.Man.Teach. and other efforts and initiatives to increase the diversity in our schools and classrooms is urgent work.I look forward to continuing this work and celebrating the work of our heroic Black male teachers. Peace and love to all.
Friends,
As many of you know, for the past year, I have been sharing and celebrating the work of Black male teachers across the country via my blog, Black.Man.Teach.. To date I have introduced the world to 134 incredible Black male teachers and shared their transformative and inspirational stories. Through black and white portraiture and short autobiographical narratives, Black.Man.Teach. describes their unique journeys and highlights the important work they do on behalf of our young children. In the upcoming year it is my goal to continue to tell 100 more of their stories thus creating a powerful narrative outlining the critical role they play in our classrooms, our schools, and our communities.
To accomplish this I will need to continue to have to travel far and wide to track them down. This is where I need your help. Next month, COSEBOC (The Coalition of Schools Educating Boys of Color), an organization leading the charge to reform the way we educate our young brothers, is holding their national conference in Memphis, Tennessee. The conference attracts hundreds of Black male teachers from across the country for three days of reflection, discussion, and action. I want to be there to meet them all, to photograph them, and to capture and share their stories. To do that, I need to raise $1250 to cover the conference registration fee ($470) and travels costs ($780). I am humbly asking all of you, my friends, to contribute what you can to help me get to the conference, so together we can continue to build Black.Man.Teach. one remarkable, Black male teacher at a time. In fact, many of the teachers already featured on the site were brothers I met at last year’s COSEBOC conference.
Please visit Black.Man.Teach. and check out what we can build together. This is an urgent issue for all of our children, and I am passionate about doing what I can to make a difference. Please donate to the cause and help me get to the conference so we can shed some positive light on our Black male teachers. We need more of them.
Each one. Donate. Teach one.
Many thanks. Peace.
