This video examines the controversy while also discussing something that often gets overlooked: how rare doctorates actually are within the Black community. The discussion isn’t simply about one individual. It’s also about recognizing the years of coursework, dissertations, research, and dissertation defenses completed by Black men and Black women who earned doctoral degrees.
