Session Slides (PDF)

Civil rights are a huge part of our country, and the Black Lives Matter movement brought it once again to the forefront of society’s eye.

We will discuss the difference between multicultural and anti-bias education and then brainstorm ways we can bring an anti-bias approach to our events.
