Student Community Gathering for Racial Justice in Education:

A space for students to learn about Seattle’s post-segregation efforts through RARE’s 30-minute film Roosevelt High School: Beyond Black & White and build community by meeting and sharing their experiences in education to inspire collective change across their school communities. 

After the height of the pandemic, relationship-building and collaboration have become more difficult. This generation of student activists is hungry. Let this be a space for them to connect, network, and inspire each other. 

All students and their communities are invited! 

Free dinner will be provided.

Beyond Black & White

Roosevelt High School: Beyond Black and White is truly a teaching tool that has broader implications of not only the Roosevelt experience, but it is also an authentic snapshot of the Seattle experience. It provides a great modern day context and historical clarity. This wonderfully woven narrative compels us to disrupt business as usual. — Dr. Brent Jones, Superintendent Seattle Public Schools
