Her Fight, His Name: The Story of Gwen Carr and Eric Garner

He recently graduated from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, where he engaged with the "Mothers of the Movement" through his Critical Conversations series and a symposium held at Harvard—where he remains a Fellow. His work exploring health and civil rights earned him a New England Emmy nomination in 2024.
Originally from Moultrie, a rural farm town in Southwest Georgia, Bailey graduated from Yale University with a degree in political science. He holds a Master in Public Affairs from Princeton, a Master’s in Oral History from Columbia University, and a Master’s in Journalism from UC Berkeley.
