(NAME-MCE) Erin Gruewell versus Tim Wise as a Keynote

[Paul C. Gorski]

I like Tim's articles. But he has not background or experience in education.
If people are annoyed that Gruewell left the classroom after a short time,
then we have to apply the criterion equitably, right? 

I would like to recommend two people:

1. Heather Hackman. I've seen her blow audiences away. She brings an energy
and intensity that are engaging, and she knows her stuff. In addition, she
brings a self-critical perspective, and that is great modeling for NAME
attendees.

2. Eddie Moore, Jr. Eddie founded the White Privilege Conference and works
in a school. He's a leader in the field and a dynamic, energetic speaker.

Paul
