Walking Tour: Harlem History and Art with Youth Historians in Harlem (3:45-5:45 pm)

This youth-created, youth-led walking tour of Harlem street art explores historical questions of place, space, and identity through the eyes of young people living and attending school in New York City. Those participating in the walking tour will explore some of the most notable examples of street art in Harlem and discuss the different meanings, histories, and philosophies visible in Harlem's built environment as presented by youth leaders. Please note: The walk will be up to 2 miles in distance and take approximately 2 hours of time. Participants in the walking tour should wear clothing and shoes amenable to walking in New York summer weather as the entirety of the tour will take place outside. The walking tour will not end at Teachers College, but it will end near subways, buses, and taxis to return to campus. Out of respect for the youth leaders and their work, please plan to participate in the tour in its entirety.

Space will be limited.

Racial and Cultural Literacy for Parents and Caregivers (3:45-5:00 pm)

In this session, Teachers College expert faculty and a parent advocate will facilitate an in-depth conversation and critical exploration of the role of parents and caregivers as champions of racial and cultural literacy. We will explore the various ways in which parents engage with, and utilize voice and influence (or lack thereof) to inform dialogues on matters of race and cultural diversity within the school community. We ask the question: "Whose interests are being served, and whose voices are being silenced?"

In particular, we will explore the role of parents as representing:
self (self interest);
child (family interest);
the body of parents and caregivers (school interests);
and the wider community (community interests).

Together, we will examine some of the tensions that get in the way of having inclusive, racially sensitive and culturally appropriate dialogues towards improved outcomes for parents, families, and school. The session will provide practical ways that parents and caregivers can develop a greater sense of racial and cultural literacy for themselves, their children, and the wider school community.

Presenters: Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz and Detra Price-Dennis (Teachers College), and Kelly Bare (parent advocate with the NYC Alliance for School Integration and Desegregation (ASID) and Live Here, Learn Here in Brooklyn's District 17).

Book Reading and In-Conversation with Jacqueline Woodson (5:30-7:00pm)
