Conversations at The Lake Merritt

Race and Education In honor of Black History Month, student members of the UC Berkeley?s Black Law Journal will give a presentation and lead a discussion on race and education. Why are there still racial disparities in admission, enrollment and graduation rates? What is being done about it on local, state, federal levels? What is the experience of minority students in higher education? Is the idea of affirmative action dead? How do we address the so-called ?achievement gap?? Explore these pressing questions with some of the Bay Area?s best and brightest students, as they will help you see education and its relationship to race in a whole new light.
