Reviews from our Students       

David Doty

Vice president, engaged learning
I am very, very impressed with these outstanding modules created by Elizabeth Leiba and Black History & Culture Academy.

The mix of written and video content is engaging, interesting, and informative. It is also well suited for a wide variety of audiences, from high school students to experienced professionals.

I strongly believe that if we are ever going to realize our Constitution's ultimate promises of equality for all people, we must have more thorough, accurate, and honest education about Black history in the United States.
Once you interact with this Academy, I guarantee you will learn new things that will make you a better, more compassionate human and a better ally.

For anyone looking for more edifying ways to spend pandemic downtime, I am LOVING my subscription to Elizabeth Leiba’s Black History & Culture Academy.

For less than two venti lattes a month, you get access to truly insightful content at a level of depth afforded by her professorial chops.

I’m currently taking the course on Ibram X. Kendi’s “How To Be An AntiRacist” as I read the book.

The nerd in me absolutely loves getting a grade (complete with a personalized note from Elizabeth Leiba!) upon the completion of module questions!

Being a good ally means being able to tell the difference when your well-meaning stuff becomes more about you than about the community you're trying to celebrate, and stopping yourself before you steal some of the spotlight.

Rather than spend time re-filming a video that would be rushed and not as good, I've decided to not post a video this week. Instead, I'll be spending some time learning at the Black History Culture Academy.

Elizabeth Leiba, thank you for creating this wonderful place! I cannot recommend this website enough to anyone that wants to learn about the rich culture and history that we were not taught in public school.

In my video I referred to Elizabeth Leiba as the anecdote, I meant the antidote 🙃.

So, please enjoy my anecdote about the antidote we need right now.

Yesterday's decision in Kenosha, today's attack on democracy in D.C. wreak of privilege and inequity. Stacey Abrams work on the foundation people like John Lewis built, we can all learn from.

Education needs to be part of the piece that gets us through..
