Anika Prather & Howard University Students On The Meaning of the Classics

from Anchored by the Classic Learning Test · host CLT

Dr. Anika Prather joins Jeremy with a group of her humanities students from Howard University—Nia Anderson, Joseph Andrew Jordan, and Joshua Hughes. The students discuss the meaning of classical education within the African-American intellectual tradition, to include such important figures as Phillis Wheatley, Anna Julia Cooper, Frederick Douglass, and Martin Luther King, Jr. Professor Prather and her students also discuss the #DisruptTexts movement and what it means for the future of education—the removal of books from curricula may be the product of good intentions, but will likely have harmful educational outcomes.  Host Jeremy Tate @JeremyTate41Guest Dr. Anika Prather @AnikaFreeindeed
