“The pursuit of justice for future generations is not a sprint, or a marathon; it is a relay race, with each baton pass marking progress in our ongoing struggle towards advancement. In the face of book bans, educational censorship, historical erasure, and the threat unchecked AI tools pose to exacerbate disparities, our young people are at risk of slipping backwards. We must be determined to shape a world that is more just and equitable for future generations of Black children, families, and communities than the one we live in today — a world where they not only survive but they also thrive. We must run after a future where every child has the freedom to learn!”
