In Search of Black Power
In Search of Black Power challenges conventional narratives around Black policy, Black movements, and Black Life. We focus on creating a new language to discuss the issues presenting Black America, with a focus on independent institutional building and seeing Black folks as the solutions to our own problems.

Stacey Patton's book, "Spare the Kids", has led to spirited debate among parents.

In this conversation, Rasheem (a parent) and Larence (not a parent) talk about the research and their personal experiences with physical discipline and seek to understand why, despite research on the empirical harms of physical discipline, so many Black parents feel it is a part of a necessary part of raising Black kids.
