It reminds readers that Black educators and families built private schools and institutions to resist those efforts. Brown says they left behind a blueprint for today. During our conversation, she shares her spiritual connection to ancestors and what it means to express humanity and empathy during these tumultuous times. She is a cultural sociologist, an Emory University professor of sociology, and an oral historian who served on The Obama Presidency Oral History Project. Brown has earned recognition from such institutions as the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and last year, she received an NAACP Image Award for “The New Brownies Book: A Love Letter to Black Families,” an anthology that she co-authored with her husband, artist Charly Palmer. #podcast #godislove #educational #justice #blackhistory #emory #ancestors #spirituality #book #books Let's Start Healing http://letsstarthealing.libsyn.com/website <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/37409615/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/88AA3C/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/190771305
