Essence editor to speak at Central State conference
Essence magazine’s editor-in-chief emeritus will be among the keynote speakers on Wednesday, Jan. 20, at the 2010 National Urban Education Conference at Central State University.
Susan L. Taylor, founder and chief executive of the National CARES Mentoring Movement and a veteran Essence editor and columnist, will discuss her mentoring program and community involvement at the conference.
“Teaching and Learning in a Multicultural Society” is the theme of this year’s seventh annual urban education conference. More than 400 educational professionals are expected to attend, according to Central State officials.
The conference is designed to “challenge educators to do a better job of teaching and reaching young people in urban learning environments,” officials said.
Taylor and fellow opening session speakers Na’im Akbar, Bobby Jones and Noma LeMoine will address the conference from 9 a.m. to noon at the Paul Robeson Cultural and Performing Arts Center on the Central State campus in Wilberforce.
Robert Jackson, a motivational speaker and author of “No More Excuses: Black Men Stand Up,” will speak from 1 to 3 p.m. at a session at the Central State Dayton campus, 840 Germantown St., Dayton.
Cedarville University and the Institute of Urban Education at Central State will host an evening celebration of the lives of Martin Luther King Jr. and Sojourner Truth at 6:30 p.m. in Jeremiah Chapel on the Cedarville campus. Annette E. Jefferson, founder and principle of DeARK Enterprises, will perform a dramatic presentation of Sojourner Truth.
