The 1954 Project
EIN: 85-3906899 · Chicago, IL
Transforming Education Through Leadership
In 1954, the landmark Brown v. Board of Education ruling promised an integrated educational system for all students. However, the aftermath saw a significant loss of Black educators and leaders, creating a void in educational equity. The 1954 Project is dedicated to fulfilling this promise by empowering innovative Black educators and leaders in the education sector.
Impacting Communities Today
The 1954 Project aims to deploy $100 million in capital by 2025 to support Black leaders who are committed to transforming educational outcomes for students and communities.
