Meet Andre M. Perry, Senior Fellow with the Brooki Meet Andre M. Perry, Senior Fellow with the Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program, a scholar-in-residence at American University, and a columnist for the Hechinger Report! Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, Perry has documented the underlying causes for the outsized number of coronavirus-related deaths in Black communities. Perry’s Brookings research has illuminated how certain forms of social distancing historically accelerated economic and social disparities between Black people and the rest of the country. Perry also mapped racial inequities in housing, income, and health to underscore how policy discrimination makes Black Americans more vulnerable to COVID-19. Perry’s research has spotlighted the struggles of Black businesses—including artists and art institutions, restaurants, and barbershops and beauty salons—as they await federal relief from COVID-19’s economic impact. In education, Perry explained how college campus closings put housing-insecure students at risk during the pandemic. Perry has also written on the unrealized value of teachers’ work that’s been made apparent by COVID-19, and has commented on the potential loss of Black teachers as a result of an impending recession.

New Featured Speaker post! Dr. Melissa N. Stuckey New Featured Speaker post! Dr. Melissa N. Stuckey of @ecsuvikings will be joining us next month, to discuss and reflect on the Centennial of the #TulsaRaceMassacre. "Melissa N. Stuckey is assistant professor of African American history at Elizabeth City State University in North Carolina. A specialist in early twentieth century black activism, she is author of “Boley, Indian Territory: Exercising Freedom in the All Black Town,” published in 2017 in the Journal of African American History and “Freedom on Her Own Terms: California M. Taylor and Black Womanhood in Boley, Oklahoma” forthcoming in This Land is Herland: Gendered Activism in Oklahoma, 1870s to 2010s (University of Oklahoma Press, 2021). Stuckey is currently completing her first book, entitled “All Men Up”: Seeking Freedom in the All-Black Town of Boley, Oklahoma, which interrogates the black freedom struggle in Oklahoma as it took shape in the state’s largest all-black town. Committed to engaging the public in important conversations about African American history, Stuckey has been awarded major grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS), and the National Parks Service (NPS) to rehabilitate a historic Rosenwald school building on ECSU’s campus and support the exploration of ways to preserve Northeastern North Carolina’s Rosenwald school history. Stuckey is also a contributing historian on the NEH-funded “Free and Equal Project” in Beaufort, South Carolina which will interpret the story of Reconstruction for a national and an international audience and senior historical consultant to the Coltrane Group, a non-profit organization in Oklahoma committed to helping these towns survive in the 21st century."
