Parenting under Slavery vs. Parenting under the Child Welfare System, with Prof. Peggy Cooper Davis
Episode 5
Tuesday, 7 October, 2025
During the times of American legalized slavery, the relationship between Black parents and their children was fraught with fear, and entirely controlled by the heavy hand of their owners. In her book Neglected Stories: The Constitution and Family Values, Prof. Peggy Cooper Davis draws the connection between this past reality, and the present reality of Black families finding themselves under the control of the child welfare state, subject to the whims of oft-biased court systems and social workers. Welcome back to the EPPiC Broadcast! Today, Prof. Peggy Cooper Davis, Esq., Professor of Lawyering and Ethics Emeritus at NYU, is here with us to discuss her book’s analysis of the analogous relationship between the historical slavery system and the current child welfare system - and the horrible impact both have had on Black parents and children.The EPPiC Broadcast is hosted by Michael Ramey, president of the Parental Rights Foundation.
