As a major issue in larger conversations of inequality, it is crucial to shed more light on the subject to increase support for our community and create a think tank of ideas to solve the problem. This is a panel discussion with professional experts on this topic, ranging from early childhood education to political movements. This will be a great experience to listen to different perspectives and experiences on the U.S.education system and its disparities.
