Please join us on Monday August 2nd to hear guest speaker Dr. Marvin Lynn discuss Critical Race Theory (CRT). Dr. Lynn will help us understand what CRT is, what CRT is not, and what’s behind all the controversy. We’ll engage in
community dialogue and plan actions.
Dr. Marvin Lynn, Professor and former Dean at Portland State University, is a leading scholar of race and education. He co-edited, along with Dr. Adrienne Dixson, The Handbook of Critical Race Theory in
Education and the second edition will be published later this year. Dr. Lynn serves on multiple national boards, councils, and committees, and in Oregon, serves on the
Education Recovery Committee for the Governor's Racial Justice Council, the Educator Advancement Council, the Oregon Community Ministry Board for Providence Health and Services of Oregon, the board of Respond to Racism, and was recently elected to serve as Vice-Chair on the Tigard-Tualatin School Board. Dr. Lynn is classically trained in opera and is an accomplished gospel singer. He and his wife Adwoa are the proud parents of three academically talented and athletically
gifted boys - Kwabena, Naasei and Nana Yaw.
