The Shelby County Schools Office of Equity had the unique opportunity to join the Memphis Grizzlies for its annual MLK Day forum.

SCS Equity Officer Dr. Michael Lowe joined the discussion, titled "Intersection of Race & Sports: Inequities in Education." He shared important perspective on how SCS is addressing inequities in education, from supporting efforts to ensure home care to providing reliable WiFi and digital devices to support virtual learning.

"We want to create a beloved community and fall in love with the problem of racial inequity," said Lowe.
