For nearly 160 years, SEF has worked to expand educational opportunity and protect the civil rights of students across the South.

That work continues. Following SEF’s formal public comments urging the U.S. Department of Education to preserve the Equity Assistance Center Program, civil rights attorney and scholar Ted Shaw reflected on SEF’s decades-long role in pursuing the promise of Brown v. Board of Education. We are grateful for his words and his reminder of the importance of continuing this work: “The call continues; the work is not yet finished.” SEF remains committed to protecting civil rights and ensuring all students have access to a quality education. 🔗 Read our public comments at the link in bio. #EducationOpportunity #CivilRights #PublicEducation #SouthernEducation
