The inspiring story…
Why read it?
1 author picked Upending the Ivory Tower as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
In this day of “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” it’s easy to forget how our elite universities marginalized or simply excluded Black faculty and students. Stefan Bradley tells their stories for the first time, showing not just how African-Americans changed these institutions but also how their Ivy League experiences altered their own perceptions of America. We have a lot to learn from these “old heads”—about race, education, and much else—if we will simply stop for a moment, and listen.
From Jonathan's list on student activism.
