“In a year in which racial uprising and COVID-19 have both disproportionately affected and illuminated the inequalities experienced by the Black community, a global convening is more important than ever,” the event description read. “Though our meetings will be virtual, our mission remains the same. We aim to provide a space for participants to discuss and share ideas and innovative practices that serve to improve the educational outcomes and experiences of Black males throughout the life course.”
