We are excited to announce Never Forget Our People Were Always Free: A Parable of American Healing as our sixth annual One Book, One SP2 choice!

A memoir by @BenJealous, a civil rights activist and professor of practice at SP2 and @AnnenbergPenn, the book examines his long career as an activist and organizer and his experience growing up the son of a white father and a Black mother. Jealous discusses the lessons he drew from his mother, Ann Todd Jealous, and his grandmother, SP2 alumna Mamie Todd, about the racism they experienced in their lifetimes. Using several parables, he offers us hope for healing our deepest wounds and overcoming divisions.

#PennSP2 will hold a series of events, including small group discussions this fall during New Student Orientation, in order to facilitate dialogue across the School.

Themes of health, gender equity, hard work, and discipline have been at the core of Dr. Jennifer Prah’s work — not only in her career as an academic, but also during her years as an accomplished tennis player, for which she was honored recently as a 2024 inductee to the St. Louis Tennis Hall of Fame.

“I really believe that my tennis and my tennis career have helped me develop traits that have served me well as an academic,” says Dr. Prah, the Amartya Sen Professor of Health Equity, Economics, and Policy at #PennSP2, who grew up and played tennis in St. Louis, Missouri.
