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 of Black Power Moves, part of the Ebony Covering Black America Podcast Network, we're speaking to Dr. Karida Brown, Endowed Chair and Director of the John Lewis Center for Social at Fisk University.
She is the Director of Racial Equity & Action for the LA Lakers and has been appointed to Fisk University’s inaugural Diane Nash Descendants of the Emancipation Chair at the school’s John Lewis Center for Social Justice.
The Diane Nash chair was established in May of this year through a $2.5 million grant from Amy and Frank Garrison. A portion of the grant funds the endowed chair, which recognizes the contributions of Dr. Nash, a former Fisk student and renowned Civil Rights activist.
Dr. Brown brings extensive experience as an author, educator, social scientist, and organizational change leader to this important new Chair. She is assuming the role for this academic year and will be joined in her mission, to reinvigorate Fisk’s initiatives in the race and social justice, by her husband, celebrated fine artist Charly Palmer.
Together Dr. Brown and Palmer will focus on infusing Fisk’s curriculum across all disciplines with action-based programming that builds social justice into the academic experience at Fisk.
