Description
This book is a collection of essays about urban community college leaders' experiences during the COVID-19 era and racial injustice protests of 2020. The result is a wide range of content from political commentary to leadership advice-all through the unique perspectives of African Americans leading some of the country's biggest educational institutions with the greatest potential for redressing a system of "interlocking injustices" that has evolved and persisted for more than 400 years. While our institutions and constituencies were disproportionately impacted by these events, we believe that urban community colleges are also at the forefront of transformative solutions for the underlying social-equity issues that are most pronounced in the nation's biggest cities.
