Thomas Fortune Cultural Center and Two River Theater, offering professional development for teachers with social justice at the forefront: an invaluable one-stop-shop for educators seeking support as well as lesson plans and curriculum.
There’s no such thing as a neutral education. Education either functions as an instrument to bring about conformity or freedom.
