This issue of Michigan Education provides an opportunity to rediscover some of the many vital contributions to practice, policy, and scholarship made by our community; trace the histories that have led us to this moment; and imagine what will define our next century.

The theme of this issue of Michigan Education is ensuring resilient communities in times of stress and change. In the face of the dual pandemics of COVID-19 and enduring race-based discrimination, educators and systems of education play particularly critical roles in building resilience in the communities they serve.
