Timothy Fields, a senior associate dean of admissions at Emory University, and Shereem Herndon-Brown, the founder and chief education officer of Strategic Admissions Advice, discuss their new book, the second edition of “The Black Family’s Guide to College Admissions: A Conversation about Education, Parenting, and Race.” They also share how they hope their book will serve as a resource tool following the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision to end race-conscious admissions.

 

Plus, Dr. Pearl Dowe is the vice provost for faculty affairs at Emory University and a political science and African American studies professor. She talks with Rose about her new book, “The Radical Imagination of Black Women: Ambition, Politics, and Power.” The book explores the political ambition of African American women and their efforts to seek public leadership despite facing multiple barriers.
