Michaux Jr. School of Education building. The theme of this year’s symposium is “Reigniting the Passion…Redefining Education for Our Children.” A reception and live auction, hosted by Rep. and Mrs. H.M. “Mickey” Michaux, will take place on Friday, March 25 at 6 p.m., with WTVD news reporter Anthony Wilson as the master of ceremonies. Kunjufu has dedicated his career to addressing the ills afflicting black culture in the United States. The main thrust of his work has been directed toward improving the education and socialization of black youths. He is the founder and president of African American Images, a Chicago-based publishing company that sponsors workshops designed to help educators and parents develop practical solutions to the problems of child-rearing in what he perceives to be a racist society. Kunjufu has written more than 33 books, including Black Students: Middle Class Teachers; Keeping Black Boys Out of Special Education; An African-Centered Response to Ruby Payne’s Poverty Theory; Raising Black Boys and 200-Plus Educational Strategies to Teach Children of Color.
