Description
Dr. Kimberly Richards is an educator, community organizer, and core trainer with The People's Institute for Survival and Beyond. She held a doctorate from the University of Pittsburgh, where her research pioneered methods of community-led research and evaluation with residents of the St. Thomas housing development in New Orleans. Raised by activist parents, her entire life was enmeshed in struggles for social and economic justice. Her professional experience included working as a teacher, a reading specialist, and the executive director of an education fund in cities like Atlanta and Washington D.C., before she became a central figure in New Orleans' anti-racism and community organizing landscape, particularly after Hurricane Katrina.
