On this edition of In Black America, producer/host John L. Hanson Jr. speaks with Dr. Valerie Hill-Jackson, clinical professor in the Department of Teaching, Learning & Culture at Texas A&M University and author of a new study that examines the decreasing number of African-American teachers in the nation’s public school system.
