Dear Friends and Colleagues of NCEBC
O
n behalf of the National Council on Educating Black Children’s Board of
Directors , our national and local planning committees, we personally
invite you to attend our 30th Annual Convention , April 20-23, 2016, in
Baltimore, Maryland, Black Minds Matter 2. Our organization has fond memoDr. Pamela Short-Powell
ries, of the state of Maryland and the city of Baltimore for 30 years ago NCEBC
was launched in Hunt Valley, Maryland, spearheaded by Congressman Augustus F. Hawkins (D, CA) chairman of the education and labor committee in U.S.
Congress. Over 800 stakeholders representing leadership of Black organizations, schools and policymakers
gathered to discuss how to improve the educational ills of African American children attending public schools.
There was an urgency then to our gathering and that urgency has intensified today!
We believe that literacy(reading in particular, but also literacy within the STEM fields) and culturally relevant
teaching and learning are STILL the keys to continued advancement and excellence in education. We cannot
be deterred by subjective test data. The way forward for us begins within our homes, within our churches,
within our schools, and within our local and state governance boards and our communities. I urge you to
participate in courageous conversations on race, equity, and accountability, so collectively we will leave this
convention with a plan of action to increase graduation rates, 4 year college attendance, and higher employment rates for our students entering the 21st century workforce.
Respectfully,
