"Dismantling Fronteras through Multicultural Education" was the theme of the recent 24th annual NAME (National Association for Multicultural Education) conference held in Tucson, Arizona. The gathering brought together over 300 educators from elementary schools, high schools and universities who are committed to educating for empowerment and social justice. SEED presented a session on "Curriculum as Window and Mirror," a concept first developed by Co-director Emily Style to show how students need to see their own stories, as well as those of others, throughout their education.

SEED Founder Peggy McIntosh will be part of "After Ferguson," a public conversation at the YWCA Boston's Annual Meeting tomorrow, November 18, along with Sylvia Ferrell-Jones, president and CEO of YWCA Boston and Madison (Matt) Thompson, director of marketing and communications for the Charles Stark Draper Laboratory and facilitator for the YWCA's LeadBoston program. They will be discussing what we can all do to promote racial equality after events in Ferguson, Missouri reminded us all that we do not live in a post-racial America.

SEED Co-director Brenda Flyswithhawks, who served in the U.S. Air Force during the Vietnam War, was honored this week along with fellow Native veterans.
