Description

The Brown vs. Board of Education case declared state laws establishing separate public schools for Black and white students to be unconstitutional. But in the time since, how have Black children benefited? Raising a Black Scholar, makes the case that the educational system within the United States is flawed and under serving Black communities and children. Commentary from leading academics provide perspective on the current public school system and alternative options to those systems. Additionally, the film gives insight into two homes of children who are being home-schooled. The documentary makes the case that in order for the Black community to succeed, proper education needs to be instilled and the system itself has to be rebuilt.
