Thanks

acknowledgements

We recognize that the torch we carry for improved success for Black/African American learners has been passed down through the struggle of our ancestors, our elders, and is collectively held by those who chose to support us in the present. Credit for the Umoja framework must be given to the often overlooked scholars who have dedicated their lives to providing blueprints for African American educational progress (Nobles, Hilliard, Akbar, etc).

We thank them for their contributions, as we have referenced their work extensively.
