(NAME-MCE) keynote speaker possibility?

Geoffrey Canada is a remarkable human being. I became aware of him through his first book "Fists, Stick, Knife, Guns" In it he talks about his neighborhood in the Bronx, the violence he experienced growing up, how he got out and went to Harvard and then went back to the neighborhood. The title is about how disputes have been 'resolved' during his time. First people (males I believe) would duke it out. Then it escalated to using sticks to beat on each other, then knives, and finally to guns.
If you go to Amazon.com you can see his other books.
Finding a key note speaker is complex. What I look for in a keynote is someone who can energize, who can discuss what we are up against without being condescending, someone who can draw a crowd, is a good speaker, and someone who lets me know I'm not crazy when confronted with all the issues that make social justice work so difficult and necessary both within my bureaucratic organization and in the classroom with the children whose lives reflect the disparities inflicted on them. I also want some hope; support that staying the course is the only option; that a long view of history helps sustain us while at the same time inspires me to hold on and survive the innumerable 'dailies' that can deflect and potentially derail us; how we can seek out and hold on to each other as we confront the machine. That is my hope for a keynote.
Although Dalton Sherman's video was inspiring and delightful, and I fully agree that hearing from students is critical and often ignored, I would not recommend him as a keynote based on my paragraph above. There are other places on the agenda that could highlight him or others, for example, as a dinner speaker. (I'm remembering a NAME conference I attended where the students did a drum line at dinner and that was powerful and excellent, along with other student presentations.) There can also be student panels etc.
When I looked at the Speakoutnow.org list, three struck me as possible choices: A.A. Akom, Shakti Butler and Howard Zinn. I do not know the first two and am aware that Howard's wife recently passed away, so I'm not sure of his availability.

Subject: (NAME-MCE) keynote speaker possibility?
Tonight on NPR's "Fresh Air" the guest was Geoffrey Canada, President
of the Harlem Children's Zone (HCZ). He was talking about great
results they were having with academic success. I had not previously
heard of this gentleman nor the program he has founded. I thought it
sounded intriguing and wondered if he might be a possible keynoter for
the conference. A book about his work titled "Whatever it takes" was
just published. When I got home I googled the "Harlem Children's Zone"
and found the following link.
http://www.hcz.org/home
Below are a few endorsements for the book, listed on the site. Again,
I had not previously heard of this gentlemen, I am interested in
hearing perspectives on his philosophies as well as the work being
done at HCZ.
Sheri Schmidt
"A story more gripping and inspiring than you'd imagine social policy
could possibly be."
- GQ Magazine
"I wish every city had a Geoffrey Canada....His vision of a renewed
Harlem community, and his accomplishments toward achieving it, attest
to the power we all have to overcome poverty and hopelessness in
America."
- President Bill Clinton
"This unflinching book will motivate us all to take action and make
our schools places of possibility and hope."
- Essence Magazine
"...[Brings] you inside the Promise Academy and into the mind of a
visionary who has known failure...yet has the nerve to keep the future
squarely in view."
- O Magazine
"This book changed my understanding of poverty in America in the most
surprising way: it made feel hopeful."
- Ira Glass, host, This American Life
"A must-read for any American committed to solving our nation's
greatest social injustice - the fact that in a country that aspires so
admirably to be a land of equal opportunity, the socioeconomic
circumstances into which you are born still determine your opportunity
in life."
- Wendy Kopp, CEO and founder, Teach for America

> multicultural education is not defined as only black and white or
> inner
> city and other. Perhaps Sonia will chime in on this point. We are
> faced with struggles and complex issues across multiple dimensions.
> No
> one person will ever be able to fully illuminate all of the
> complexities faced. Why has no one mentioned a speaker like Gerald
> Unks who wrote "The Gay Teen" or someone dealing with an area not so
> readily discussed or acknowledged by schools(i.e social class,
> sexuality, special education marginalization etc?)? There is a bigger
> dimension situated within critical theory and pedagogy that we cannot
> ignore especially in light of the current political status of the US.
> Schooling has become a terrain of identity struggle and ideological
> conflict. Multicultural educators are faced with a strong
> neo-conservative movement which is reducing multiculturalism to a
> black
> and white antiquated ideal maintained by left-over hippy leftist
> radicals. As I stated earlier, I think Sonia mentioned the fact that
> we are political by the very nature of what we are espousing and
> holding as virtuous ideals of a better society. The political
> idealism
> of a keynote speaker is important when we are trying to establish the
> credibility of what we do and moreover the advocacy we need past
> his/her participation at the conference. We must look and confront
> oppression as a faceless and colorless monster that seeks to degrade
> humanity and hope. Our ideas and visions of a speaker should seek
> someone that speaks to all and does not limit the scope to identifying
> one struggle over another as this sets up a hierarchy of oppression.
> As long as there is inequality and oppression we will maintain our
> fists in the air with emotion and compassion in our heart for all
> peoples. Just some thoughts I had.
