Khalilah Harris
Managing Director for K-12 Education Policy Center for American Progress
Harris brings a unique perspective to the Center for American Progress from an extensive career of working to expand access to opportunity through an equity lens in community organizing, education, education policy, youth advocacy, and building an inclusive workforce. In addition to her background as an attorney, journalist, and researcher, Harris brings grassroots experiences from founding a Baltimore City school focused on social justice and co-founding a local community collaborative called the Coalition of Black Leaders in Education.
She organizes nationally with the EduColor movement and served as the first deputy director of the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans. While working under the Obama administration, Harris also managed the Diversity and Inclusion in Government Council and implemented the first White House Summit on Diversity and Inclusion in Government.
This lecture is free and open to the public.
