Race equity is a path from hope to justice, where people of color and indigenous people use their personal agency to build systems of healing and liberation that uplift and value the human dignity of all people. Race equity in education means the humanity of POCI students is honored and celebrated in all education spaces, and the racial predictability and disproportionality of student achievement is eliminated. To that end, race equity in education is not merely a value or the absence of racial inequities or disparities. It means that all education systems and structures are just and inclusive, and every student uses their power to shape the world and wo they want to be in it.
