Join us for the fourth annual Black Minds Matter Summit!
About this Event

In an era where the quest for knowledge and the pursuit of academic excellence are more critical than ever, the National Black Minds Matter Summit seeks to address the multifaceted challenges and opportunities within the educational journey of Black students. This vital summit aims to foster an inclusive dialogue, shedding light on the entire spectrum of educational experiences from early childhood through high-school, from traditional public schools to microschools.

Our focus extends beyond our foundations of education freedom; we are committed to exploring innovative strategies, policies, and practices that can ensure a high-quality, well-rounded education for Black students. Through a series of keynote speeches, panel discussions, and interactive workshops, stakeholders from various sectors—Black school founders, educators, policymakers, community leaders, and students themselves—will come together to share insights, exchange ideas, and lay the groundwork for actionable change.

The National Black Minds Matter Summit is more than a summit; it is a movement towards creating equitable educational landscapes where every Black student can thrive in all schools, empowered by knowledge, and bolstered by community support. Join us in this crucial conversation as we envision and build pathways to success for generations to come.
