About Us

Black Minds Matter is a national movement to celebrate Black minds, support excellence, and promote the development of high-quality school options for Black students. Our essence and our being deserve life.

Black Minds Matter, We Believe:

Our students should have free, high-quality, safe school options beyond the singular option the government assigns. Because our children deserve excellence in every aspect of their education.

When our students have education freedom, outcomes such as high school graduation rates, test scores, college acceptance, crime rates, civic engagement, and parent engagement improve.

By cultivating a safe space for idea sharing, advocates and communities will value our diversity of thought and develop more innovative school options for Black students.
