The Trouble with Black Boys
|
This week on Smart City, we explore the stubborn link between race and
poverty in America. My guest, professor Pedro
Noguera, has written a
book about the cultural, societal and personal factors that cause
young black and Hispanic males to run afoul of middle-class American
norms. Professor Noguera joins us to discuss his book "The
Trouble With Black Boys: And Other Reflections on Race, Equity, and the
Future of Public Education
."
And we'll have a discussion with Thomas Sevcik
about how much work it
can take to change the way the world views a city. Thomas is the
founder of the internationally acclaimed creative studio Arthesia and he'll tell us
about the complicated issue of a city's identity and
how to find what he calls "the city's drama."
