Recording of a lecture delivered by Anika Prather, Founder of The Living Water School, on September 18, 2020, as part of the Formal Lecture Series. Dr. Prather offers this description for her lecture: "I will first review the history of how the Great Books or Classical studies have historically been instrumental in liberating African Americans and then I will connect that to current events and the importance of there being global citizens to fight this fight with our minds and hearts as MLK, Thurgood Marshall, John Lewis and so many others did, using the American documents and a deep understanding of them to hold our leadership accountable to the Constitution."
Dr. Prather has spent many years as a teacher, director of education, and head of public and Christian schools. She writes about the history of classical education in the black community as well as the power of classics in the classroom.
