Being Black In America`s Schools: in conversation with Dr. Ilyasah Shabazz

Fuller will be in discussion with the daughter of Malcolm X, professor, and author Dr. Ilyasah Shabazz, about his new book, the current state of education for Black and Brown children in America, and a hopeful way forward. Books will be available for purchase and a book signing will take place at the event’s end.

About the Book:

Being Black in America’s Schools: A Student-Educator-Reformer’s Call for Change is a modern twist on the classic 1933 book The Miseducation of the Negro by Carter G. Woodson, offering a stark yet humanizing portrayal of how our public education system consistently damages children of color. Most importantly, the book presents present-day solutions and a hopeful way forward through identity-affirming and liberatory education.

Brian Rashad Fuller is an educational leader, strategist, and author with a passion for addressing the needs of historically underserved students. Learn More at the website.
