Lilada Gee is out for December. For today’s show, she wanted to rebroadcast a show that originally aired on Her Turn news, a WORT show of news and information by and about women. We hear The Capital Times reporter Amber Walker in conversation with educational scholar Dr. Gloria Ladsen Billings.

Dr. Ladsen-Billings is Professor of Education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She wrote a book about teaching children of color to succeed, entitled The Dreamkeepers: Successful Teachers of African American Children.
