PhotoVoice: Racial Equity
In the spring of 2016, a group of Asheville City Schools Preschool parents and teachers met for 6 weeks to explore racial equity in education using the PhotoVoice method. Participants received high resolution cameras and decided on the following photo assignments:
What is my story with race and identity?
How do adults talk and teach about race?
What are the barriers to closing the achievement gap?
What do children in the gap need to succeed and thrive?
Participants identified key messages, audiences, and methods of sharing the photographs and discussion dialogue to promote change.
