Dr. Love breaks down how the ‘80s and ‘90s shaped the Hip Hop generation, exposing how mass incarceration and education policies set Black kids up to fail—labeling them Super Predators, crack babies, and a so-called "achievement gap." Now, with book bans and attacks on CRT, history is repeating itself.
What’s next? Dr. Love offers a vision for justice, equity, and educational reparations that could transform learning for everyone.
