The Battle for The Black Mind

Growing up surrounded by an appreciation for Black culture is what sparked Dr. Karida Brown's interest in committing her professional life to this work. As an NAACP award-winning author, sociologist, and professor, Dr. Brown is a leading scholar of systemic racism and the study of Black life. As she describes in her new book, “The Battle for the Black Mind,” there's an ongoing struggle for educational justice in America. She discusses her personal and professional journey in studying Black culture, her decade of groundbreaking research and analysis, and why there is still much to learn today from the harrowing accounts and history of the fight for Black education in America of yesterday.
