Dr. Angel Adams Parham demonstrates the importance of the Black intellectual tradition in America and how much of its strength comes from its immersion in the great texts of the Western tradition. By drawing on students’ own experiences and placing them in “The Great Conversation,” we deepen their experiences of truth, beauty, and goodness – the keys to a flourishing life. Join the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation and Ford Leadership Forum as Dr. Parham shows us how great African-American thinkers have engaged the tradition and how such engagement can become a template for contemporary education.
