RTE S2E1 - Black at The Root: The Foundation of Black Education in America** Race Through Education
-
- Education
Welcome back to season 2 of Race Through Education! We took some time off to work towards these degrees and get our minds right. But we are back with a brand new season and to kick things off we are talking Black education with Dr. Robert P. Robinson.
When you think about Black education in the United States do you go back to 1619 or does your mind bring you to 1954 and Brown v. Board of Education? Mainstream narratives surrounding Black education in America tend to ignore all of the contributions made by Black educators, parents, communities, and activists. In this week’s episode, Dr. Robinson discusses the Black Freedom Movement and what that means for Black education and schooling in the United States and we dive deeper into the history Black Panther Party’s Oakland Community Schools (OCS).
Robert P. Robinson is an Assistant Professor in the SEEK Program at John Jay College and an Induction Mentor at Teachers College, Columbia University. Prior to higher education, he was a K-12 educator and mentor for 11 years. His broad research and teaching focus on Black education history, history of U.S. education, curriculum studies, higher education mentorship, and the Black Freedom Movement. His upcoming new book project is a history of the Black Panther Party’s Oakland Community School (OCS) as a site for understanding Black self-determination, the shift in mainstream curriculum and pedagogy, and the Black radical imagination in education.
