    Thank you Professor Hunter and Carr for being accessible. I was crushed as a young women when I was given an opportunity to meet an author who I absolutely adored. I only wanted to shake her hand and she rejected me in a way that I will NEVER forget. It made me very conscious of how important it is as an elder to allow young people in my space. Thank you! As a speaker, writer and instructor it is important to give back to those who listen to you.

      Hi Mildred,
      Thanks for sharing your experience with those of us who support, love and appreciate Prof. Hunter and Dr. Carr. The reggae group Third World sang a song many years ago entitled Now That We Found Love (what are we going to do with it). It takes love to move on from hurtful moments in our lives. It is as we consciously decide to move away from hurt that our love intensifies and becomes more potent. I believe that it is love that has sustained you through the hurt; and love is now your perpetual companion. Love prompts us to forgive a wrong that has been perpetrated against us. As we forgive, the Creator heals. And what follows the healin' is some well deserved chillin'. So smile my sister and be at peace.
      One love fam.

      You are correct! That encounter taught me what not to be like. It hurt because she was an author who help me move comfortably in my black skin. I was thrilled that a friend had offered me an opportunity to be in the same space with her. Her rejection actually empowered me to always give back no matter how lowly you may consider someone to be, they may just be the person who will care for you one day. She taught me reach back and take someone hand and bring them forward. She taught me humility. Peace to you! blessings

    I remember reading this book when I was in high school. It was in the summer, and I remember sitting on my bed, trying to understand why someone would hate themselves so much as to believe blue eyes were the answer! I was so mad reading this book, I think it was a defining moment for me and the development my transformation from the womb of the Black veil that had protected me until then. I was 15 when I read that book and it was transformational for me.

    I didn't get Toni Morrison at first or poetry. Langston Hughes, I am still working on it. The Toni Morrison book that got me was "The Bluest Eye." Then it all began to flow. I did not require the school's "booklist" to read some of the best kinds of literature I have ever read.

    Professor Hunter, you hit the nail on the head. In my early teens and 20s, I did not get Toni Morrison's writing and was confused. I just finished Song of Solomon as a 30-something-year-old, and it all clicked.

Public Schools superintendent. So I claim Jackson-Reed. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

    We had to read The Bluest Eye in my English Comp I class my freshman year at FAMU. It was eye-opening for me at 18, especially coming from S. Florida where colorism is prevalent. I got teased a lot as a child for being dark-skinned so to read the book was the start in understanding more about the roots to the phenomenon.

    When you do a closer look at schools there is a small percentage of black students placed in AP classes or Gift and talented programs The numbers are much higher for blacks to be tested for special education.
    This is just another sign that we need to educate our own children on history & the importance ofHBCUs as well as black educators. Jew & Muslim families teach their kids their own history outside of schools

    I literally remember professional Black people, teachers even saying to Black children: "I've gotten mine's you have yours to get." In the most condensation tone. It was for many not about the rise of the people as a whole rather than the success of their individual accomplishments and how white adjacent one become as the symbol of success.

    I went to Bridgeforth Elementary School in Giles County, Pulaski TN
    The Bridgeforth Family is renowned for their contribution to Black education. That history was buried when schools integrated. There has been some research and writing about it in an effort to preserve the memories. In 16 years of education, four of them at an HBCU, the six years I spent at Bridgeport Elementary School had the most profound effect on my educational life.

  • @vphiameradisogaarwa
    @vphiameradisogaarwa Год назад +1

    Your discussion on remembering correctly reminded me (love that phrase, my parents used to say it often re-mind) of a concept that is not too far away from he subject you touch on yet unspoken in the context of the cultural war being waged against black studies; the concept is called "revisionism", so far as I remember, it was a bugaboo for Conservatives in the 1990s and from readings I did over a decade ago, the late 80s. "Cultural revisionism" fed the anti-political correctness fervor in the 1990s while "historic revisionism" ran parallel to the fervor touching many aspects o educational planning.

    Professor Karen, I stand with you as you and Dr. Carr spoke eloquently about the Tent Homeless Community. I have been online trying to figure out how to get supplies to the Tent Homeless Community. Professor Karen do you know of a Organization in DC who provides supplies to the Tent Homeless Community? I am grateful for all the work both you and Dr. Carr do and speak on. I made the sad mistake in speaking to a Young White male about the Tent Homeless community and that young man expressed very little compassion and he swore the Tent Community was the Tent community because they want to be. I do understand there are a few who choose to be transient by chose but many others have been forced into Tent Homelessness as you very well full know Professor Karen, so any advice to help the Tent Homeless I will get other to help me get supplies to the vulnerable.

    1:40:13 Had a conversation yesterday about the elementary school I went to in Downtown Charleston, South Carolina. The school district renovated it a few years ago (5 to 10 yrs ago) & changed the established date on the front of the building under the name. I went to James Simons Elementary School in the 1970’s. It was built way before I attended it. … That’s like removing all prior history as to say we were never there.

    There is a book, “First Class”, about Dunbar. I have it but haven’t read it. My father was named after Paul Laurence Dunbar. My favorite Toni Morrison book is “ Tar Baby”. I’ve read it more than once. It affected me greatly as a young woman. It doesn’t get much attention. Sula and Song of Solomon were other book that I really felt. Then Jazz. Beloved and Bluest Eye were not my top picks. I’m different I guess 😊.

    Hello All. I'm working upstate New York and it is very communistic. It is impossible to find a regular provider. You have to wait months to see a medical provider and when you arrive at your appointment you will see another one as the original one has moved on even with insurance. This place is truly 100 years behind major cities in united States
