"We need more leaders dedicated to improving the lives of the many students of color and those from low-income families still lacking the opportunities they deserve. We also need leaders who can communicate why racial equity matters and rally others to the cause. Those of us in the Grantmakers for Education community must challenge ourselves to find more ways to build, support and expand research-based leadership programs focused on racial equity in education." -Kenita Williams, MPP, EdD of Southern Education Foundation.
