45th Annual Charles H. Thompson Lecture with orator Dr. Greg Carr

The Charles H. Thompson Lecture-Colloquium series creates an avenue through which the Howard University School of Education and The Journal of Negro Education are able to explore significant issues in African American and ethnic minority education. The Charles H. Thompson Lecture-Colloquium series began in November 1980 as a living memorial to Dr. Charles H. Thompson, founder of The Journal of Negro Education. The purpose of the Lecture is to contribute to the continued study and resolution of unresolved problems that still impact the Education of Blacks and ethnic minorities in the United States and around the world.
