The System Isn't Broken - It's Working as Designed

What if the greatest lie we ever told our children is that the system is broken? Dr. Kenneth T. Jackson doesn't just share his journey—he exposes how a "broken" system actually works exactly as designed, especially against Black boys who face the highest dropout, suspension, and incarceration rates. As a retired superintendent who lost 14 childhood friends in a single school year, Dr. Jackson reveals the uncomfortable truth about educational inequality and challenges us to stop surviving the traps and start dismantling them. This conversation will shift how you see your own journey—and who you can help along the way.
