“Degrees will fool you.”
During a conversation at Rutgers–Newark’s Sheila Y. Oliver Center for Politics and Race in America, moderated by director James Jones, author Ta-Nehisi Coates reflected on why an Ivy League education, prestigious awards and access to powerful people don’t necessarily make someone wise.
Coates emphasized the importance of staying curious, grounded and open to learning from people whose lived experiences offer lessons that can’t always be taught in a classroom.
