About Event:

The Africa-America Institute invites you to join us for this year’s State of Education on Africa virtual conference, being held on Friday, November 5th, 2021 from 1PM-5:45PM ET.

Our annual SOE conference is a space for learning and dialogue between students, parents, teachers, leaders, and innovators interested in transforming K-12 education by infusing it with scholarly and unbiased knowledge about Africa and the worldwide Diaspora through effective teaching that supports student academic achievement.

Join us for “Teaching Africa in the World,” as we explore recovered histories that center the contributions of Africa and its worldwide Diaspora in the making of the modern world.

Based on the responses by educators to last year’s post-conference survey, this year all conferees will receive a Professional Development Certificate. This commemorative certificate evokes the conference theme of centering Africa in antiquity and the modern world.

Following the conclusion of the conference, all participants who registered before the day of will also receive an ebook of the widely acclaimed Reversing Sail: A History of the African Diaspora, by Michael A. Gomez
