Freeman Hrabowski speaks at TED2013 in Long Beach, Ca.

Hrabowski’s now fighting as an educator — and one of his chief missions is to push more African-American students into science, technology engineering and mathematics. Kojo chats with Hrabowksi about leading the University of Maryland, Baltimore County — and how his personal history bridges the Civil Rights era with today’s modern education challenges.
