For our final #freedomschoolfriday during Black History Month, we honor Dr. Edmund Gordon, a pioneer in educational equity and the architect of the Head Start Program. Dr. Gordon’s groundbreaking research emphasized the importance of supplemental education to support undeserved scholars, laying the foundation for equitable access to learning. His work continues to inspire educators and advocates to create inclusive spaces where all children can thrive. #BlackHistoryMonth #FreedomSchoolCLT #EducationalEquity #SupportScholars
