Megan Red Shirt-Shaw, Ed.M. candidate, speaking at the 2017 HGSE Convocation.

Since its founding in 1920, the Harvard Graduate School of Education has been training leaders to transform education in the United States and around the globe. Today, our faculty, students, and alumni are studying and solving the most critical challenges facing education: student assessment, the achievement gap, urban education, and teacher shortages, to name just a few. Our work is shaping how people teach, learn, and lead in schools and colleges as well as in after-school programs, high-tech companies, and international organizations. The HGSE community is pushing the frontiers of education, and the effects of our entrepreneurship are improving the world.

It is very important for Americans to start hearing the "Acknowledgement of Country" that recognize the specific First Nation People's land upon whom we stand at every public gathering. Thank you Megan Red Shirt-Shaw for recognizing the people upon whose land Harvard stands. Carole Y Johnson

How dare you wear ear rings.  That is an insult to the people of Africa who were the ones that developed this in their culture. You are insulting them.  You have no right to do that.
