In this edition of Radio Curious, we'll visit again with Dr. Elizabeth Allen, a Professor of nursing at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. As a high school student, Dr. Allen was one of the first African American students to integrate the West Virginia high schools in 1957.
We begin our conversation with Dr. Allen when she discusses how she was able to successfully get through the educational system, and what changes have occurred in education since then, as they relate to African American students.
The book she recommends is 'The Price of Loyalty' by Ron Suskind, with former US Treasury Secretary, Paul O'Neil.
