We're excited to share that acclaimed professor, scholar, award-winning author, and APB exclusive speaker Jarvis R. Givens has released his highly anticipated new book, American Grammar: Race, Education, and the Building of a Nation.
In this groundbreaking work, Givens explores how American schools and textbooks have historically shaped the nation’s understanding of race, identity, and belonging. Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, he reveals the ways education has both reflected and reinforced broader struggles for freedom, equality, and cultural power.
