In the context of the current pandemic, persistent inequities, and recent civil unrest, our CNUSDEdChat team invited long-serving advocates for equity and cultural proficiency, Dr. Delores Lindsey and Dr. Randall Lindsey, to help us process our own emotions, to examine our own values, assumptions, and beliefs, and to help us support our community of educators and learners. The Lindseys are founders of The Center For Culturally Proficient Educational Practice.
