Equity, Educators, and Workforce Transformation

Changing the Legacy of Race & Ethnicity

Panelists University of Northern Colorado Urban Education Director & Elementary Education Coordinator Dr. Rosanne Fulton, educator Tim Hernàndez, whose termination at North High School sparked a movement of student protests regarding the retention of teachers of color, and Vice President of Leader Development at Denver School of Science and Technology Public Schools Dr. Natalie Lewis discuss equity lessons, ways educators creatively respond to challenges, and freedom dreaming. Co-founder and Executive Director of Young Aspiring Americans for Social and Political Activism, Dr. Janiece Mackey, moderates this discussion.

Colorado Humanities produced the Changing the Legacy of Race and Ethnicity series of panel discussions for individuals who want to find their own ways to contribute to the fight for justice and human rights. Each panel brings diversity in thought and conversation with community experts.
