1 of the things Drs. Sanders and Darden mentioned was their start as geographers (Sanders as the first Black woman awarded a PhD in geography, Darden as the ninth Black geography PhD) they were alone at the AAG. We took a photo with all the Black PhDs/Candidates in attendance 💞

Very excited to finally share my article on reparative-advocacy planning in Philadelphia public schools! This article would not have been possible without all the support of organizers, parents, teachers, and staff in Philadelphia including OCOS, WPCNS, and @parentsunitedphl.bsky.social
