I'm noticing that there is renewed interest in our Ethnic Studies work here in AISD. Here is the link to the actual March 2, 2018 UT-AISD Summit that folks can view for themselves. The community conversation went really well and the presentations by the students and Ethnic Studies teachers were truly wonderful and inspiring.
