On the Margins Podcast is produced by CREED (or the Center for Racial Equity in Education).  Even though this is our second season of the program, it's the first year CREED has officially been in operation publicly. In this episode (recorded on 8/19/20) co-founders James E. Ford and Janeen Bryant reflect on the work of CREED, successes and challenges with discussing race and offer some highlights from Season 2 of the podcast. They share insights about what they envision for moving the organization forward and reflect on ways the state of North Carolina could adopt more race conscious practices for systemic change in education.
