6 Black Professors Who Teach The Nation and Inform Popular Culture
Marc Lamont Hill
Marc Lamont Hill teaches education at Columbia University. The title of his book, Beats, Rhymes, and Classroom Life: Hip-Hop, Pedagogy, and the Politics of Identity hits on subjects that keep him engaged beyond the lecture hall. He’s made the rounds on the cable news shows, spending a good chunk of time playing the liberal counterweight on Fox’s The O’Reilly Factor. Last fall he landed a regular television spot when he was brought on to host “Our World with Black Enterprise”, which airs on TV One.
