Join us Wednesday, August 20th at 6 PM on Zoom for a discussion with sociologist, professor, oral historian, and public intellectual Dr. Karida L. Brown, in conversation with scholar and educator Dr. Lacey Hunter.
This program will center on The Battle for the Black Mind, Dr. Brown’s deeply researched and urgent new book tracing the long and ongoing fight for educational justice in America. Through historical analysis, personal reflection, and keen sociological insight, Dr. Brown examines how education has been used as a tool to control Black minds, and how generations of Black educators, students, and communities have resisted, rebuilt, and reimagined spaces for Black intellectual and cultural flourishing.
