Bettina Love and W. Kamau Bell

This week, Dr. Bettina Love… Professor at Teachers College, Columbia University and author of “We Want to Do More Than Survive.”  Her writing, research, teaching, and educational advocacy focus on abolitionist teaching, antiracism, Black joy, and educational reparations. Love’s new book “Punished for Dreaming: How School Reform Harms Black Children and How We Heal” is an unflinching reckoning with the impact of forty years of racist public school policy on generations of Black lives. On September 19th, 2023, Dr. Bettina Love came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to talk to comedian, activist, and  W. Kamau Bell. You can see Bell’s new documentary, “1000% Me: Growing up Mixed.” on HBO. The evening was presented in association with San Francisco’s Museum of the African Diaspora.  Join us now for a conversation with Dr. Bettina Love and W.
