Dr. Marita Gilbert:
One thing I have learned about Dr. West is you can t really predict what we will get. What I love about him is that he has been someone who has always offered both historical perspective and analysis and a cultural critique. Even if you just have a conversation with Dr. West, you will leave feeling as if you have been taken on a journey; whether that’s a conversation about voting rights or social justice or soul music, Dr. West is going to take you on a journey, which is going to connect all these different threads. At the end, you’ll feel like you ve been on like a world tour.

Anh-Tuan is a first-generation Vietnamese American, the son of Vietnam War refugees. His father is a veteran of the South Vietnamese Air Force and a political refugee; his mother fled the communist regime, a boat refugee.
His father, great uncle, and grandfather all served for the South Vietnamese military during the war, and their flight out of a turbulent Vietnam was a harrowing journey.
“They fled the day before Saigon fell,” Anh-Tuan said. “And every one of those on my mom’s side fled by boat.”
Three Tong family groups eventually arrived in Camp Pendleton, California, finally settling in Hutchinson as Minnesota was “the only state that would take all of them,” according to Anh-Tuan. In the 1990s, Anh-Tuan’s father moved to the Twin Cities area, where he and his mother met and were married.

Interview Highlights
On The Criminalization of Girls of Color In Schools
Dr. Morris outlines this broader landscape that starts when girls are very, very young in school. The ways in which they re treated, the ways in which they’re perceived, the ways in which their bodies are understood and criminalized, and their behaviors are pathologized. If we see these tendencies that show up early on that push black and brown girls out of education pathways and into more criminalized atmospheres, what results then is that we are reifying systemic barriers that have significant implications on their life chances, and also remove black and brown girls from the ability to make significant contributions to our community and to our society.
