#Justice comes in many forms - recognizing the past, hearing from others, and taking steps to move forward are huge steps. This reminds me of important conversations I had recently with Dr Nayr Ibrahim about #Apartheid in South Africa and Tove Mentsen Ness at the recent conference about #Sami and #Indigenous people Nord University. Thinking about incorporating deep thinking around social, economic, and environmental justice in #learning in pedagogy and teacher training for the betterment of today and the future. #ResearchMatters #EquityandInclusion #HigherEducation #EducationalLeadership #TransformativeLeadership #LifelongLearning #TeacherTraining #SocialJustice #Reparations #TruthandReconciliation

What does justice truly look like in situations like this? Is it simply admitting him posthumously, or can more be done? I think you know what I think. What about you? "More than 160 years after being denied the opportunity to practice law in Maryland, a campaign has been launched to get one Black man admitted to the Old Line State’s bar. Thanks to several attorneys familiar with his story, Edward Garrison Draper’s legacy will no longer have an asterisk next to it. On Thursday, Feb. 16, a panel of scholars and historians gathered at the University of Baltimore to discuss Draper and how race and slavery stopped him from being the first Black man to be a lawyer in the state of Maryland." #blackhistory #racism #college #lawschool #lawyer #law https://bit.ly/49aPIoK
