In the middle of the 2012 Oregon NAME (National Association for Multicultural Education) Conference, David Dennis and Donna Beegle sat down to have a conversation about civil rights and poverty, and the relation of those issues to the educational experience.  The sketchnotes above record some of the ideas that came out of that conversation: encouraging community involvement; challenging the current power structure of the education system; and bringing real history into the classroom.

Other sketchnotes from the 2012 Oregon NAME Conference:

• Freedom Rider David Dennis Keynote Address
• Poverty Expert Dr. Donna Beegle Keynote Address
• Building Student Engagement for Math and Science in a High-Poverty School
