Debrief

To go off of what I was talking about in class about my son and how I believe that he doesn't really know his self enough. I think the public school system just fails to educate our African American children about their history. They only take the time to tell them about it one month out of the whole year and most of it is negative, oppressing , and shameful. Just like any other culture or race you have to teach them about their history first before you can teach them about anyone else's. Native Americans have their own schools that teach them of their ancestries and the importance of their culture. More African American families are starting to homeschool their kids to protect them from the public school system that is taught to make African history invisible only showing the bad things about Africa. I think we discussed that on the first day of the class. I have been dancing around this idea and I just wanted you guys to be able to understand the concept of what I was trying to discuss earlier in class. I think their should be course taught in school that let kids of any culture be able to know more history of their ancestors and to know the truth about their culture before slavery.

Below is two videos of some Afrocentric educators that speak on the topic.
