With this knowledge, we learn how to lead and serve in a racially just world.

and develop our skill sets to ensure that we are prepared for life, college and career.
We work together, learning from different perspectives,
because we know that it will take all of us to create a world
where each person can be valued and included.
We learn from and celebrate the contributions of global Black communities
