Summary
What does it mean to have and to nurture the ability to take in information and convert it to action? What happens if the mechanism for taking in that light in the mind’s eye is damaged or not well tended to? Those gathered at the 8th Black Male Educator Convening in Philadelphia, are considering this year’s theme: “Power to the Pupil: History, Hip Hop, & the Future of Teaching & Learning.” Together, we are modeling and discussing how to take in light—information, history, experience—and convert it into action. How do adults empower our community by ensuring that our children’s pupils–their capacity for taking in information and processing it through unblocked memory–are healthy and unobstructed? We are reminded that the contemporary global and US Social Structure has consistently tried to block our pupils in order to advance the goals of a few at the expense of the many.. To empower ourselves, we much protect and expand the pupil of the mind’s eye.
