ACCORDING TO RESEARCH…
“Black boys raised in America, even in the wealthiest families and living
in some of the most well-to-do neighborhoods, still earn less in
adulthood than white boys with similar backgrounds.”

TO PREPARE KIDS FOR A JOB
• In a capitalistic society, too many actors have no urgency to teach kids what they need to
know to win
• As such, wealth is protected for the elite few
• If we want to break the cycle of poverty, including an explicit lesson on managing
resources is imperative
• Eliminating racism and racial bias in our system requires more diverse peoples who are
ready to assume leadership
• Use data wisely!

IN ORDER TO MOST EFFECTIVELY SERVE THE MARGINALIZED, WE MUST BE CLEAR ON OUR VALUES AND USE THEM TO EXTERMINATE BIAS, RACISM, AND CULTURAL BIAS

LET’S TEST YOUR VALUES
• Should education be compulsory?
• How many of you think vaccines should be mandatory for all American kids?
• Should everyone be mandated to wear a seatbelt?
• Should judges use decision-making tools/frameworks when levying sentences?
• Should educators who work in urban centers also live in urban centers?

ARE YOU WILLING TO SACRIFICE SOME ELEMENT OF PERSONAL LIFE AND DESTINY TO FOCUS ON GENERATIONAL LEGACY?

TO SERVE EFFECTIVELY
• Leaders are responsible for establishing the compass that the school or org operates by.
• Use this compass to expose racism and implicit bias.
• We need your leadership pushing your spheres of influence. We need you sitting on
boards of organizations. We need you engaging with civics.
• Authentically educate students about what is possible- even when it seems impossible.
