S2E10: Freedom, America, and Education (ft. Dr. Greg Carr)

Jul 7, 2022 7:44:18 PM


Dr. Greg Carr, Associate Professor at Howard University and host of "In Class with Carr," returns to his monthly slot on Building the Black Educator Pipeline Podcast to talk all things freedom. Dr. Carr lets us know why he personally always feels free and discusses some symbols of freedom in the United States. 

Host Shayna Terrell and Dr. Carr also break down the history of the 4th of July and Juneteenth and what they represent while discussing who gets to define what it means to be free and what that looks like.

Finally, the show covers the right to a quality education and how that is tied to our freedom or lack thereof.
