My national television debut on the Melissa Harris-Perry Show (photo credit: Cheryl Coward).
Yesterday, I was honored to be on the Melissa Harris-Perry show on MSNBC. The show’s focus was on what makes a good education. Other guests who joined me throughout the four segments on education were:
- Natasha Adams, student at the City College of New York and youth leader in Girls for Gender Equity
- Derrell Bradford, executive director of Better Education for Kids in New Jersey
- Anthea Butler, professor of Religious Studies and Graduate Chair of Religion at the University of Pennsylvania
- Michael Gellman, graduate of Bronx Science High School and in 2013, an incoming freshman at Harvard
- Lila Leff, founder of the UMOJA Student Development Corporation
Watch the first segment in which I talk about my class on feminism and activism for high school students. Watch the second segment in which I talk about the need to create safe schools free of bullying and harassment.

Thanks so much for the very kind words, Emily. I’m looking forward to leading the webinar for HGHW this October as well! Onward!
