Nationally renowned for his writing and Ted Talk on racial literacy as well as his decades of experience as a clinical and consulting psychologist in low-income rural and urban neighborhoods across the country, Howard C. Stevenson had teachers who recognized and celebrated his talent and who challenged the status quo to give him and other black students opportunities that he still treasures today. Just as vivid in his mind are those teachers who marked him for abuse. On this episode of The Whole Student, hear Howard's recollections both of teachers who uplifted him and those who took out their aggression on him as a youth.
