Review Quotes

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!

I believe that lived experience is the best storyteller. In The Green Book: For Black Folks in Education, Dr. Brown makes meaning of life as a child of immigrants, growing up in Brownsville, New York, to become a scholar, educator, and school's principal at the age of thirty-one. His inspiring story qualifies him to offer parents of Black children guidance toward successfully navigating the treacherous waters of the public education system in the post-pandemic reality. In simple terms, he knows what he's talking about, so listen attentively!
