However, given the national focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion in the aftermath of the nationwide Black Lives Matter protests in the United States, educators, practitioners, and students now have the opportunity--as well as the social and political momentum--to make long-term, systemic changes in design education, research, and practice, reclaiming the contributions of Black designers in the process. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Black Experience in Design\u003c\/i\u003e, an anthology centering a range of perspectives, spotlights teaching practices, research, stories, and conversations from a Black\/African diasporic lens. Through the voices represented, this text exemplifies the inherently collaborative and multidisciplinary nature of design, providing access to ideas and topics for a variety of audiences, meeting people as they are and wherever they are in their knowledge about design. Ultimately, \u003ci\u003eThe Black Experience in Design \u003c\/i\u003eserves as both inspiration and a catalyst for the next generation of creative minds tasked with imagining, shaping, and designing our future.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnne H.
