Carter-Larke Black History and Education Lecture
February 23 @ 11:00 am - 2:00 pm
The Carter-Larke Black History and Education Lecture honors the legacies of Dr. Norvella Carter and Dr. Patricia Larke, two trailblazing faculty whose scholarship and teaching transformed generations of educators. Since 2017, it has grown into a signature Black History Month event in the College of Education and Human Development.
This year’s lecture, Nine Beats Strong: Rhythm, Resistance, and Renaissance, offers an engaging program exploring Black history, culture, and education through the lens of rhythm and resistance. Hear from keynote speaker Dr. Tony B. Watlington Sr., superintendent of the School District of Philadelphia, and join a campus-wide conversation on educational justice and renewal.
