We are excited to announce that Hartford Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Leslie Torres-Rodriguez will be facilitating a discussion with esteemed author and activist Dr. Bettina Love, as she is honored with the Harriet Beecher Stowe Center's 2024 Stowe Prize for Literary Activism. Dr. Love is the author of 'Punished for Dreaming: How School Reform Harms Black Children and How We Heal,' which offers a compelling exploration of the detrimental effects of 40 years of public school policy on Black children, advocating for transformative reparations to heal and rebuild communities. The Stowe Prize celebration will be held the evening of Wednesday, September 18 at the Immanuel Congregational Church in Hartford. It will feature a Social Justice Fair and a Free Public Program, offering attendees the opportunity to listen to Dr. Love and explore themes from her work. The discussion between Superintendent Dr. Leslie Torres-Rodriguez and Dr. Love will follow. “I am deeply honored to engage in a dialogue with Dr. Bettina Love, who challenges us to rethink educational systems and the broader societal structures that impact the lives of students. From justice to economic opportunity, these systems often reinforce the very inequities we seek to eliminate. I hope the stories and insight she shares inspire our community to work together to continue to foster equitable and inclusive environments for all young people,” remarked Dr. Torres-Rodriguez in anticipation of the Stowe Prize for Literary Activism celebration. Details: - Wednesday, September 18 - 5:30 – 6:30 pm: Social Justice Fair at Fellowship Hall, Immanuel Congregational Church - 6:30 – 7:30 pm: Free Public Program at The Sanctuary, Immanuel Congregational Church For more information and to register, visit https://lnkd.in/eZxcB3Ct
