Your membership contributions support our programs:
Teacher Education Scholarships
Our scholarship program is designed to fill the "educational pipeline" with minorities interested in becoming classroom teachers. With the decline in federal support for education, scholarships have emerged as an effective strategy to develop future educational leaders.
Symposium
The symposium brings educators, researchers and policymakers together to examine social, political, and economic issues that affect education; and to search for solutions to achieve educational equity and excellence.
National Park Partners
The Foundation assists and supports the National Park Service with plans, preservation and interpretation of Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site and other related sites.
Reading and Literacy Program
The program uses readers and story tellers to introduce children ages 3 through 8 to books and stories with multicultural themes to help them appreciate and understand race and ethnic diversity. We also operate two children's libraries in low income communities.
Research
The Foundation offers financial support to scholars who design and complete original research and extend earlier research on educational equity, excellence, and student achievement.
Newsletter
The Brown Quarterly is a newsletter designed to introduce classroom teachers to curricular resources from our National Parks and share the history of minority groups in this country. It features teacher innovations and a review of multicultural children's books.
