Leading the Way for Social Justice with Dr. Karida Brown, Endowed Chair and Director of the John Lewis Center for Social Justice at Fisk University

In this episode WMMT's Rachel Garringer spoke with Karida Brown - assistant professor of Sociology and African American Studies at the University of California in Los Angeles - who is also a member of what she calls the Eastern Kentucky African American diaspora.  She has deep personal ties to Harlan County, KY where her grandparents lived, and much of her extended family still lives. In this interview Dr. Brown talks about her new book “Gone Home: Race &amp; Roots Across Appalachia” and the Eastern Kentucky African American Migration Project - a public humanities project and community archive out of which Brown’s book was born.  She also shares memories of coming home to Lynch from New York during the summers as a child to visit her grandparents and cousins, and she talks about her calling to document histories of Black community, work, and migration into and out of the eastern Kentucky coalfields.
