In the face of great precarity, while a global pandemic raged on and enemies of equity and justice deployed their best efforts, our brilliant and capable colleagues at the NYU Metro Center remained unrelenting in the fight for the humanity and dignity of historically marginalized youth and families. As you will discover in these pages, the valiant researchers, practitioners, and advocates that comprise our committed community at NYU Metro Center remained deeply engaged in partnership and in support of those at the forefront of educational transformation--community and family members, students, teachers and other school-based professionals, school and district leaders all who experience the schooling system first hand, day in and day out--all who strive towards equitable educational experiences for our youth.
