Dr. Ivory A. Toldson wasn’t a proficient reader as a youth, but he recalls that he worked hard to strengthen this deficiency.

 

Toldson also began challenging stereotypes against Blacks and offering solutions to improve not only the Black community, but society as a whole.

Known as a certified “myth buster,” Toldson has written and published hundreds of articles and has spoken about the state of education for Blacks in national media outlets.
