Urban Voices, Racial Justice, and Community Leadership
Rowman & Littlefield (Verlag)
978-1-4758-6748-0 (ISBN)
This book is a collection of essays about urban community college leaders’ experiences during the COVID-19 era and racial injustice protests of 2020. The result is a wide range of content from political commentary to leadership advice—all through the unique perspectives of African Americans leading some of the country’s biggest educational institutions with the greatest potential for redressing a system of “interlocking injustices” that has evolved and persisted for more than 400 years. While our institutions and constituencies were disproportionately impacted by these events, we believe that urban community colleges are also at the forefront of transformative solutions for the underlying social-equity issues that are most pronounced in the nation’s biggest cities.
Curtis L. Ivery has been chancellor of the Wayne County Community College District for 25 years. He is a national leader on urban revitalization and social equity. He is the author of several books including America’s Urban Crisis and the Advent of Colorblind Politics: Education, Incarceration, and Segregation; and The Future of the Urban Community College: Shaping the Pathways to a Multiracial Democracy. Christine Johnson McPhail is president of Saint Augustine’s University in Raleigh, NC, founder of the community college leadership doctoral program at Morgan State University in Maryland, and former president of Cypress College in Southern California. She is a national authority on diversity, equity, and inclusion strategies and the co-author of books on community college leadership including Team Leadership in the Community College.
