9th Annual Liberated Minds Expo Offers a Lasting Form of Protest and Resistance to the George Floyd Murder by Way of Homeschooling
Atlanta, GA — From June 26-28, 2020, the Liberated Minds Black Homeschool and Education Expo will join the ranks of countless organizations that are hosting their events online in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Normally held in metropolitan Atlanta in mid-July, the Liberated Minds Expo brings together hundreds of Black homeschool parents, culture-affirming educators, education advocates, scholar-practitioners, and vendors to exchange ideas, share their best practices and lessons learned, and encourage each other to invest in their children’s education and total development.
This year’s conference comes right after Black parents all over the United States have gotten a crash course in the form of distance learning that is being incorrectly called homeschooling.
Queen Taese, who founded Liberated Minds nine years ago, wants parents to know that what they experienced was an emergency response to a global health crisis, not true homeschooling.
The masterclasses range from introductory topics such as “Developing the Homeschool Mindset While in Public School” to powerful subjects such as “Teaching African History,” “Mapping Out Your Child’s Success,” and more.
