Dr. Daniel Hale Williams- ABW's BIPOC Common Core Curriculum

We have a new series!  I thought this might be a good way to get our gears turning as we contemplate how we'd like to see our school curriculums change to reflect the histories of BIPOC communities. These are folks I never had the pleasure of hearing about and it was a joy researching and learning about this week's BIPOC Highlight, Dr. Daniel Hale Williams. We hope to bring you these bonus episodes on a weekly basis (as work schedules permit). Let's continue this work together and start a dialogue. As we read and learn about these Greats, feel free to share your thoughts on our Instagram page @THEANGRYBLACKWOMANPODCAST and share with friends and family so we can grow the community! Enjoy the recommended reading and if you do, show the authors some love for sharing their knowledge.
