The National Opportunity to Learn Education Summit

October 2-4, 2008
Hilton Washington Hotel
Washington, DC

The National Opportunity To Learn Education Summit was an inspiring call to action, echoed by the donors, foundation officers, public education advocates, policymakers, educators, academics, community leaders and youth who participated throughout the two days.  Each participant at the Summit was keenly aware of the deep chasm that exists—more than 50 years after Brown—between many of our nation's children and the “opportunity of an education” to help them “succeed in life.”  These committed leaders bear stark witness to what one termed “education genocide,” and each is working on solutions to this crisis.
