Keynote Session:
 Dr. Eddie Moore Jr. presents
Diversity, Privilege, Oppression and Leadership: Are We Making Any Progress in the 21st Century
This interactive, informational, challenging and energetic session will examine and explore issues related to diversity, privilege, oppression and leadership across America (especially within education). It is imperative those of us promoting diversity and fighting for social justice evaluate and discuss whether or not we are making progress in the 21st century. We all have an excellent opportunity to be positive role models, powerful decision makers, and effective agents of social/institutional change if we have the tools to do so. Are we ready?
