In honor of Black History & the Present, the Howard University Graduate Student Advisory Council (GSAC) has aimed to collaborate with fellow HU School of Education (HUSOE) student organizations, students, faculty, and guests in order to host and partake in an experience of engaging, uplifting and honoring the intersections of lived and imagined experiences of Black people. Objective: to debunk myths and negative narratives about Black individuals, communities, children, parenthood, families, experiences, creativity, intellectual contributions, and movement(s). To contribute to this work, we have developed the GSAC Debunked Series: 3-D PhotoVoice Gallery to be hosted in Spring of 2022 from February 21 through February 25, 2022.

Call for Interest Applications For the Spring 2022 showcase, participants will NOT have to be physically present for the Debunked Series.
