#BMEC2024 featured a compelling lineup of esteemed speakers, engaging panels, and interactive workshops aimed at empowering us as Black educator activists and enhancing student outcomes.

Additionally, inspired by the 30th anniversary of Dr. Gloria Ladson-Billings’s book, “Dreamkeepers: Successful Teachers of African American Student” & the 70th anniversary of the landmark Brown vs Board ruling, the 2024 convening theme was: Deacons For Our Future: DreamKeepers Yesterday, Today, and Forever.

The event focused on the following critical strands:

1) STEM

2) Curriculum, Instruction and Student Support

3) Leadership and Policy Making

WHAT BMEC ATTENDEES SAY

“Seeing so many brothers in education is uplifting.”

“I was forced to reflect on how my actions, both deliberate and unconscious, caused some of my students to be excluded and left out. I brought back more of a willingness to learn about my students—to reach them in a way that not only is inclusive but also genuine.”

“The vibe was the thing—a day where you just feel at home as a man of color in education.”

“Convening provided life-giving energy, fitting for uplifting and encouraging spiritual warriors. Wide variety of session topics and truly delightful interactions with everyone who crossed paths.”

“I was surrounded by people who didn’t look like me…There were jokes and references I didn’t get, times I felt excluded from the conversation…I was keenly aware of how every person interacted with me and constantly questioned what they were thinking about me and my presence. In other words…I got just the smallest window into the experience of many Black male educators and students in our schools.”
