Legacy!Black Students and Positive Socialization in Schools
Description:
This workshop examines the implementation of a program that was designed to support the recruitment and retention of Black students into a local university. It explores efforts to create belongingness and academic success through mentorship, research, and community service during a summer bridge program. The author and founder of the program uses a narrative approach to also explore why “legacy” is critical to the development of positive socialization and racial identity for Black students and families across K-20 contexts. Participants will discuss ways to support Black families in schools.
