Cleveland Heights Education: Equity Program Empowering Black Women
Cleveland Heights Takes Charge of Educational Equity
In a bold move, Forest Hill Church Presbyterian in Cleveland Heights is launching an Educational Equity Program focused on helping Black women eradicate their college debt. This initiative is part of a larger effort to address inequities historically perpetuated by Jim Crow and systemic racism.
Combating Historical Challenges
The church's Racial Repair Restoration Task Force, after a thorough examination of the past two years, aims to shine a light on educational disparities affecting local women of color. As part of their findings, they recognize that these systemic issues go beyond financial burdens, impacting life opportunities for generations.
Path Forward for Educational Equity
With this program, Forest Hill Church hopes to foster sustainable change and empower participants through education. By tackling college debt directly, the church aspires to cultivate a more equitable future for Black women and the broader Cleveland Heights community.
