Episode Synopsis

Berea College isn’t your typical school. It’s been tuition-free since 1892—and was the South’s first interracial and coeducational college. On this episode, we talk with Gretchen Dykstra, author of “Lessons from the Foothills: Berea College and Its Unique Role in America,” and alum Morgan Younge about what makes the school unique, and what it can teach us about education, equity, and opportunity today.
