Today the SC effectively struck down affirmative action. Hear from NLC CEO Clare Bresnahan-English (NLC Washington DC 2012) and alums Rakim Brooks (NLC New York City 2019) and Maria Town (NLC Washington DC 2014) on how our movement for educational equity will not be stopped.
NLC is honored to announce Dr. Terrence Roberts, member of the Little Rock 9, as a keynote speaker. Join us August 3-6 as he shares remarks on the steps of Central High School and helps to connect the bonds of our past and present.

These words were written by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. exactly 3 months from today, 60 years ago. When we read the words of Dr. King, we’re reminded how this wasn’t very long ago but also how eerily it can be applied now.
Happy New Year!
We wish you all an exciting and safe start to 2023!
