I have not been watching the live stream for a while. Just to let everyone know that I earned an M.ARCH degree Friday, May 28, 2021. It has been a long road for many years..which I am glad the persistence paid off.
I am sitting up here trying not to cry watching this as it sounds so much of what I experienced that became my foundation, and I try daily to continue living by what they've taught me. One of the things being, "Baby, while there are times when you feel like giving out, as long as you don't give up, you will make it!" Neither of my grandparents had a formal education. My maternal grandfather quit school in 1st grade, and my grandmother dropped out of school in 6th grade because their people were sharecroppers and in order for all of them to be able to eat. But what they did without any formal training is one of the most solid platforms I have used, use now, and will continue and hope to pass down to my children and nieces and nephews. They keep me going on without giving up. Their accomplishments without formal education helped everyone they could, even if they didn't care for some of the things they did, taking in anyone who needed to be taking in taught us our morals and values because their ways of knowing without formal education were to watch each of us to find out our learning styles. One of the ways my grandmother did this was in the kitchen cooking. She would give us all tasks to see their learning styles, and it means the most to me as I cook with love because I was taught how to love. When they made a grocery list, she made sure to speak to others about how helpful and how much she appreciated us helping and how she never had to wonder if we bought back her correct change. And we all did these things because we wanted her to be proud of us. My maternal grandfather was illiterate. I had no idea, and when I found out, I wanted to help him learn; however, he was shortly thereafter, he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. I couldn't help with that, but I could build on the foundation they set for us. Because if they did all of the things they did, I know I could too. What my dad did for me took a while for me to understand, but he was the one that taught me to see past colorism. When I said, I wanted good hair. He asked, "what is the job meant for your hair to do?" I said to cover my head. "He then said, is your hair doing that?" I said yes. He followed by saying, "Then you already have good hair." He taught me saying I can't was an excuse not to try. And my Aunt Mary let me cry, advised me, and believed in me until I started believing in me. In a world where labels and status are important, they taught me their importance and my own.
Your awareness is confirmation of their efforts and positive results. Keep doing what you have done while always listening for their intuitive tugs on you that will lead you to better.
Very proud of my cousin Dr. Jessica B. Harris and the positive reviews of Stephen Sattlefield’s Netflix production of “High on the Hog”. And Black farmers also tell their griping stories about growing food amidst threats of Black land loss. We have work to do! REMEMBER...
Yay food. A huge part of our rituals and traditions. Amazing how this class is UNFOLDING in ways we couldn't have imagined a year ago. PLEASE DONT STOP
Thank you, Karen Hunter, for illustrating your entry point to knowledge...reminding us that a miseducation and the absence of a full education, is intentional. I feel absolved of any embarrassment prior to my Black education and ongoing journey toward knowledge.
Every week I realise there is SO much to learn and appreciate. THANK YOU for helping me realise I also have the capacity to learn and grow. In Class with Carr is essential if you live in this world. LOVE!
Dr. Carr you can’t make this up. We are the seeds. Decoration day = Memorial Day. Dr. Carr, Dr. Carr what you are. Our souls rejoice, you take us far. Thank you ❤
I am always in awe of how all of their beautiful knowledge ties together . So blessed to be here ! Dr Carr and Professor Hunter much love always ❤️. There are so many words spoken that I would love to see on tee-shirts. Part of he platform a tee shirt line called KNARRATEES. and from today what spoke to my spirit was WE ARE THE SEEDS Thank You 🙌🏽❤️
Was live in class yesterday; re-listening while houseworking today. Cooking and ways of knowing: my daughter calls me for recipes re dishes I've prepared over the years. I told her last wk, she has to start writing them down so she can pass them along to my granddaughters. Why is that important to share: before In Class and Knarrative, I had never thought to tell her the importance of archiving our family cultural doings. Thank you both!
You guys, Professor Karen Hunter and Dr Carr are pure gold, beauty, joy and love. I cannot find the words to tell you what important work you are both doing. Dr Marlene Ellis (UK)
Thank you, Prof. Hunter and Dr. Carr for another memorable In Class!! As Dr. Carr says, "we can't remember the trials without the triumphs"!! Indeed, we celebrate them both for they're intertwined in our memories - without one we couldn't recall the other!! BTW, those ancestors were FIERCE in their determination!! SHOUTOUT to them!!💯
Wow Dr. Carr who are we to each other is so key. There is a lot of unraveling in our minds that need to be done. PAUSE IS IMPORTANT. Thank you Dr. Carr.
1:28:47 - 1:30:00 I had to stop and run that again, all I could say was "damn". Dr. Carr nailed that one. Tulsa's story is an American story and was not a one off, it one that has been repeated time and time again, and the effects are intergenerational.
Here, getting my black American History on. American History y never had in public schools and then some.KAREN LOOKING GORGEOUSLY SMART WITH HER NEW SPECTACLES. STAY STRONG STAY GOLD AND GID BLESS TO BOTH
From "Decoration Day" to "Memorial Day"...😧😯 It's just Crazy‼️ LITERALLY, "EVERYTHING STARTS FROM THE BLACK"-- Kendrick Lamar.❤️🖤💚 My apologies....😏🤭 (Protocol), Peace and Blessings Professors Hunter & Dr. Carr.✌🏿❤️ Amazing #InClassWithCarr this Rainy (for Me) Saturday Afternoon.❣️ Very interesting & Profound parallels were being made today.❣️ I Love it ❤️
Wow!!! My friend put me on to y’all and I get educated every time. High on the hog had me crying but also overjoyed with our resilience as a people . Keep doing these shows and I’ll stay in class , love it ✊🏿🖤.
Thank you both for educating everyone. I am grateful my Mother was determined to teach us our history fully. It exposed me to so much more of my small world, to know others like me survived this country doing exactly what they wanted freely.
There are so many things you both mentioned on this class, closely touches on my Ancestors. For example Grant (my Father's side) and KS , the Trail of Tears (my Mother's side) and Oklahoma. Professor Hunter and Dr. Carr, you touched my soul. Thank you, dear hearts.
@34:31 Thank you Professor Hunter for highlighting the point that “nothing going to waste” on the animal was cultural and not just a practice of enslaved Afrikans
The cooking and food relation talk takes me deep back into childhood. I can remember preparing holiday meals, and it was the task of my sister and I to prep the ingredients: pick the greens, cut the potatoes, in celery, bell pepper. Lay everything out for my mother who worked night shift, so that would be done when she got home. It was always like magic to me watching her flip cornbread in an iron skillet using a pot lid. The mechanics of that just clarified for me listening to you talk.
Thank you Dr. Karen and Dr. Carr for this class. I just found out about you during the pandemic . I love this class. I sign in after you are on live here in North California in the Silion Valley. ✌
Mama Karen Hunter and Baba Greg Carr big up to both of you. I want to pay tribute to our brothers and sisters in Tulsa, Oklahoma who owned their own businesses such as barbers, grocers, banks, clinics etc. The racist maniacs go and ruined what our brothers and sisters built as well as sacrificed as well as most of our people were murdered unjustly. Tulsa Oklahoma was known as the Black Wall Street. RIP
Professor Hunter I thank you and Dr. Carr sooooo much!! Can you al please discuss the Elaine Arkansas Black farmer massacre. I am from Arkansas and just recently learned. ☹️😤😭
In Bermuda we have the gombey tradition as well that Bro. James mentioned occurs in Florida. When you hear that whistle, it alerts you...time to hit the streets and follow the gombey troupe (s).
Dr. Carr, you talked about Hwy I-65. In Birmingham it runs past the Historic 4th Ave Black Business district, near the 16th Street Baptist Church. This Hwy separated the historic district downtown from the black neighborhoods and the 1st black high school in Birmingham (Parker High School). Point is, it split the heart of this once vital, self-sustaining black community.

As a chef, born and raised in New Orleans, you hit it spot on Dr. Carr, my grandmother let me taste everything off the back of her hand.

Wow Dr. Carr who are we to each other is so key. There is a lot of unraveling in our minds that need to be done. PAUSE IS IMPORTANT. Thank you Dr. Carr.
I am also a Great Grandmother who read as a four year old & loves it when Dr. Carr introduces children’s books.
Thank you so much!
1:28:47 - 1:30:00 I had to stop and run that again, all I could say was "damn". Dr. Carr nailed that one. Tulsa's story is an American story and was not a one off, it one that has been repeated time and time again, and the effects are intergenerational.
Loved this episode. Enjoyed Dr. Carr and his energy!!!
LOL at 17:36. The Elvis reference. Social structure versus governing structure. Love this class!
I am rewatching because Memorial Day is upon us, and I love Dr. Carr's class on this topic.
Just finished watching yesterday's Live as I had 2 leave.

I read about Tulsa in jet magazine back in the 80s. I believe it was a quick blurb not a feature article. John brown is a deity!
He coolin wit the ancestors saving a plate. He actuall read that book he was talking about.
