 re: https://zoom.us/j/95860231166\n\nAbstract: Dr. Kofi LeNiles' talk ex
 amines the lessons learned from studying a Maroon group in South America
 \, which are applicable to understanding the need for culturally-centere
 d approaches to education\, specifically for Black children and\, more b
 roadly\, for all children. LeNiles advances the theory of African-center
 ed education to explain how culturally centered approaches to education\
 , particularly those centered around African/Black/African-American cult
 ure\, greatly enhance the socioacademic well-being of Black students.\n 
 \nLeNiles asserts that the failure to integrate African-centered approac
 hes to education has contributed to the challenges Black children experi
 ence in the public school system. He also asserts that failing to levera
 ge children's culture in public schools has a detrimental impact on all 
 children. LeNiles concludes with recommendations for implementing cultur
 ally centered approaches to education to improve the education system.
