Dr. Anika Prather is a literature professor, classical educator, and author. She is currently the Director of High Quality Curriculum and Instruction at Johns Hopkins Institute for Education Policy and with her husband founded The Living Water School. She joins the Disagree series to discuss with Chris Marchand how to approach teaching about and having difficult conversations about race and racism. Using an approach of love, grace, and lament, she still manages to address the painful truths of history while seeking for a greater communal and cultural healing. In this conversation she and Chris discuss historically black colleges and universities, "whiteness" vs. white supremacy, and the realities of American slavery.

You can find out more about Anika's work at her website, her podcasts Reclaiming the Canon and Kush Classics, or by reading her book The Black Intellectual Tradition, co-written with Angel Parham.
