The C.O.W.S. w/ Dr. Karen Swallow Prior (I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings)

September 04, 2014

Dr. Karen Swallow Prior visits The Context of White Supremacy. Dr. Prior earned her Ph. D. and M. A. at the State University of New York at Buffalo and her B. A. at Daemen College. She's a professor of English at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia and a member of Faith Advisory Council of the Humane Society of the United States. Gus reiterated his interest in hearing how White professors teach on Dr. Maya Angelou's iconic autobiographical novel, I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings. A listener alerted Gus of Dr. Prior's essay on this book - What Maya Angelou Means When She Says 'Shakespeare Must Be a Black Girl'. We originally agreed to do this program a week earlier, but the death of Michael Brown, Jr. and the events in Ferguson altered time. As it turns out, Dr. Prior has recommended people read Caged Bird to get a better grasp of what's happening in Missouri. We're interested to hear what she thinks this book can teach us about Racism (White Supremacy) and why it is so popular amongst Whites.
