I took Cultural History of Harlem when I was a student at Columbia. I did a lot of research at the Schomburg Center.

I really love your interveiws.

I can't stand any more "bro", name calling, alert alert alert, hyper broadcasts anymore! They are not just coming from the right and that way of discussing things just adds to all the problems.

You and Heather Cox Richardson have what I need. Thabk You So Much.

This is so inspiring. Thank you so much for featuring Karen. (I hadn't been following the events at Columbia very closely so I needed this.) This break-out on her own is so bold and timely, the course sounds so amazing and the response makes my heart glow. Karen, herself, might be the most genuine college professor I've ever encountered. (I know it's a low bar, but still.) Now I've got to check out her substack. Thanks again.

The Core Curriculum at Columbia when I was there was all about dead white men. That was in the 90s. I thought it had changed. Clearly the appetite for change is there!
