Summary
Deborah Shariff and co-host Linda Solomon interview Dr. Aminah Fernandes Pilgrim and Dr. Carine Sauvignon about implementing a Black Studies Associate's Degree at Massasoit Community College. This episode continues the conversation in a series highlighting the importance of Black Studies in academia and their development. The doctors join our hosts to inform us of their efforts, along with many others in higher education, to meet with students at the intersection of academic development and social justice issues. There is a phenomenal opportunity to impact the future of our communities through an education on how the black experience contributes to our society and its members-- through history, culture, media, civic engagement, technologies, and much more. Urban empowerment today leads to better urban communities tomorrow and education offers incredible tools to build up our communities. Join the conversation.
