What educator's have said about Black History 360°:
"In many ways, today's portion of the Institute achieved an appropriate balance between the scholarly and the lay, between the textual and the oral, and between the public and the institutional. I see enormous benefit in bringing educators to the Schomburg to educate them about its holdings so that they, in turn, will educate young people (and others)."
"Thank you for the Summer Education Institute 2011. This has by far been the best conference that I have had the pleasure of attending as an educator."
"It's absolutely delightful to engage in dialog as well as to be enlightened by such scholars".
"Loved Dr. Williams! I especially appreciated that he honored the learning process in that he told us where we were going. He invited audience participation and acted as though he loved what he was doing!"
"Today blew my mind. Fantastic. We needed at least 3 more years to unpack half of what we touched on TODAY."
