Special Guests: Patrice Hill and Coco Bland
The conversation didn’t end last week—because the learning didn’t stop when systems failed.
In Part 3 of Black v. Board of Education (BVBOE): When the Community Becomes the Curriculum, we continue alongside Sacramento Area Youth Speaks (SAYS) to examine what happens after DEI programs are cut—and how communities step in to teach what institutions refuse to fund.
This episode digs into:
➡️ how Black students and families create their own spaces of learning and safety,
➡️ how lived experience becomes knowledge when formal curriculum erases us,
➡️ how youth voices, culture, and organizing become the lesson plan.
We’re naming the truth: when schools and districts abandon equity, the community becomes the classroom. Accountability is taught through action. History is preserved through storytelling. Healing happens through collective care.
This episode isn’t just about loss—it’s about transformation. About how grassroots leaders, artists, educators, and youth refuse to let our students be left behind, rewritten, or silenced.
Because when institutions mute equity, the community educates anyway.
Tap in as we continue confronting systems, amplifying truth, and redefining what education looks like when the people most impacted lead the way.
This isn’t a new chapter.
It’s the curriculum they didn’t want us to teach.
