Dear Friends,

The Center for Black Educator Development is thrilled to host the 7th annual Black Men in Education Convening (#BMEC2024) on November 21 – 23, 2024 in Philadelphia, PA! We are looking to transform the education sector by recruiting, retaining, supporting, and activating more Black men to support and lead the work of revolutionizing the educational system.

Through #BMEC2024, we are continuing our tradition of educational activism, professional development, and organizing by convening Black men in education and those who support them to build community with each other through tactical thoughts, words, and actions that will help us to collectively change the lives of students and the school communities in which we serve. Our orientation is to lean and stand on the shoulders of our giants and heroes so that we may lift as we climb.

HELP US REACH ALL BLACK MEN IN EDUCATION!

Deadline to register: Friday, October 11, 2024. **Please be aware that the convening may sell out before the October 11th deadline.  If you would like to secure your spot, register today.

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.”
