ABOUT
Our Story
The Black Leaders and Administrators Consortium (BLAC) grew out of the groundbreaking doctoral research of our founder, Dr. Terrell M. Hill, whose dissertation on the career paths of Black and White superintendents exposed the stark underrepresentation of Black leaders in district leadership roles. In Connecticut, Black superintendents have historically made up only a small fraction of all superintendents, despite serving a student population that is far more diverse. Confronted with this gap, Dr. Hill created BLAC as a vehicle to change those realities by building community, expanding access, and dismantling systemic barriers. What began as research has become a movement—uniting Black leaders and aspiring administrators, cultivating pathways to superintendency and beyond, and reshaping what leadership looks like in our state’s schools.
