DEI is being used as an excuse to get rid of race-based scholarships, cut funding, eliminate initiatives that encourage the hiring of qualified Black teachers, ban books, erase Black history, and much more. It's going to take all of us to change things for the better.

"Living the Legacy of African American Education: A Model for University and School Engagement" offers one possible solution: A program called Teaching in the Urban South (TITUS). TITUS explores the basic premise that if the strategies used by Black educators during Jim Crow were successful in educating millions of students, then why not try some of these strategies today?

Listen in as Dr. Sheryl Croft, co-editor of "Living the Legacy of African American Education: A Model for University and School Engagement," shares how TITUS works, its results, and how educators can implement something similar today, plus what non-educators can do to help our students succeed.
