The Arc of Justice Episode 4: Education, the Great Equalizer? featuring Deondra Rose and Adriane Lentz-Smith

On the fourth episode of The Ways & Means podcast series “The Arc of Justice – From Here to Equality” Dr. William Darity and A. Kirsten Mullen are joined by Duke professors Deondra Rose and Adriane Lentz-Smith discuss the impact of education on success and advancement. Education is a doorway to prosperity. Yet, time and again in American history, that door has been shut for African American people. Consider the GI Bill, which provided college education and housing benefits for veterans after World War II. The GI Bill was a conveyor belt into the middle class for millions of white WWII veterans, but many African American veterans were excluded. Subsequent generations continue to feel the effects. Join us to learn more about the GI Bill and educational equity in this podcast episode. Listen here.
