The Green Book: For Black Folks inEducation is a non-fiction book written for parents and educators to examine best practices for supporting Black children in schools. Dr. Brown addresses topics such as parenting, high expectations, unconscious bias, community, culture, and navigating the traditional American educational system. This book provides a professional and personal lens to view the experiences of Black children in schools.
At times a memoir, at times an autobiography, at times encouraging, and at times a cautionary tale ... yet always engaging. Dr. Brown takes his reader on a descriptive and prescriptive journey through the multiple stages of the educational trajectory. Unashamedly using the Black American experience as his lens, he manages to offer insights that are much more universal. Partially controversial? Yes. Partially compelling? Yes. Worth the journey? Absolutely!
