Reaping Rewards: Black Women and Democracy with Dr. Christina Greer
About this episode
Dr. Christina Greer discusses the lessons from Black women political leaders and her publication on building democracy.
In case you missed it, this episode is a re-release of an amazing conversation with Dr. Christina Grant. Andre 3000 told us the South has something to say, and Dr. Christina Greer wants us to heed the lessons that Black women political leaders from the South are teaching us. Dr. Greer stops by the class to talk about her latest publication, “How to Build a Democracy. From Fannie Lou Hamer and Barbara Jordan to Stacey Abrams,” and what it means to grow beyond fear, to build upon foundations established by our ancestors, being prepared to thrive at Historically White Colleges and Universities, the importance of political tithing and not waiting for America to grow up fully–she may never.
