Howard University in Washington, D.C., is the nation’s only historically Black university with a Classics department, but in May of this year it eliminated it. Dr. Anika Prather, who taught Classics at Howard, joined Rabbi Lamm to unpack the consequences of this decision. They explored what Classics have meant to Black identity and liberty in America. How the Jewish perspective on Classical civilization, the Greeks and Romans are the villains! can be helpful. And how to create a community around the study of ancient Greek and Latin, similar to the community that has arisen around the study of ancient Hebrew.
