🎙️ Episode 6: A Shelter in the Time of Storms with Dr. Jelani M. Favors
In this deeply resonant episode of D.O.P.E. Conversations, award-winning historian and author Dr. Jelani M. Favors joins us to explore the powerful role of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) as sanctuaries for Black thought, activism, and democratic practice.
Drawing from his acclaimed work "Shelter in a Time of Storm", Dr. Favors examines how HBCUs have served as incubators for leadership, community building, and political resistance—especially during the most turbulent moments in American history. Together, we discuss the intersections of education, community, and democracy within the Black experience and why HBCUs remain vital to the ongoing fight for justice and equity.
🏛️ A must-listen for anyone who believes in the transformative power of Black institutions.
