Join ACPS Superintendent Dr. Gregory Hutch ings and Georgetown Professor Dr. Douglas Reed as they unpack structural r acism throughout the history of Alexandria&rsquo\;s education system and i dentify pathways toward equity in a post-pandemic world.
\nDr. Reed will provide the historical background: his book\, \;Building the Federal Schoolhouse\, \;is an in-depth analysis of the city&rsquo \;s schools over the past 50 years\, following ACPS through the Jim Crow e ra\, court-ordered desegregation\, and the Southern strategy against those desegregation efforts known as &ldquo\;massive resistance.&rdquo\;
\n< p>Dr. Hutchings will discuss ACPS's new strategic plan\, which focuses on equity\, and his thoughts on race and education today in Alexandria. Speci al focus will be paid to covid-19 and its disproportionate impacts on comm unities of color\, from poorer health outcomes\, economic losses\, and lac k of digital access.\nSpeaker Biographies:
