The question "How are our children?" rooted in the African proverb, is a reflection of a community's priorities and well-being. It's not just a question, but a statement that underscores the importance of the next generation's welfare. When applied to the context of African American education in the U.S., especially in light of the Deferred Dream, the impacts, promises, and broken promises post the Brown v. Board of Education decision, the answer is multifaceted.

To commemorate the occasion of the Supreme Court Decision, NCOEE, along with its partners, will host a conference, bringing educational leaders, directors of community-based organizations, academics and policymakers from across the country, to discuss key issues. Research related to the 1954 decision, its impact on our students and communities, and where we go from here, will be led by academics from around the country. Their findings will also be highlighted in a book to be published after the conference. We hope this groundbreaking event will help to cement our concerns into the national consciousness and result in policy and programmatic changes to benefit our students. Please join us.
