B2 Minority Women in Early Childhood Education – Sesame Street and Sonia’s Story; 1.75 Child Development
Focus on the importance of diversity of the women in the early childhood workforce. In this presentation based on her book, The Revolution of Evelyn Serrano, speaker Sonia Manzano explores the impact that the Civil Rights Movement had on the Hispanic community. She examines how growing feelings of self worth in both the African American and Latino communities gave rise to social programs like Head Start and the United Farm Workers, as well as educational TV programs like Sesame Street. Manzano gives her personal take on how the whole movement made Latinos examine racial prejudices in their own groups and sadly, in their own families. Discuss how children need role models that are reflective of them and the workforce crisis in our field that must be addressed.
