On March 9th over 200 school staff, administrators, school board members, county partners, community-based partners, and students came together for the San Mateo County Achievement Gap Summit at the Oracle Conference Center in Redwood City. The meeting highlighted Bernard, Shirley and Khalil Kinsey’s collection of African American art, artifacts, and primary source documents. The Kinsey Collection highlights the role African Americans played in the history of the United States. In the morning Bernard Kinsey presented some of the materials that the collection includes and highlighted little known historical facts about African American history. In the afternoon staff from the Imperial County Office of Education shared a curriculum that was developed based on the collection. The lessons are based on the Kinsey Collection and describe the frequently overlooked but important contributions of African Americans. The lessons are available for download from the Imperial County Office of Education website.
