In Class with Carr, Ep. 154: How Do We Educate (AP Courses)? Toni Morrison & Paul Lawrence Dunbar

[@MsMusixx]

May this circle be unbroken! Thank you Professor Hunter & Dr. Carr for this wisdom!♥️

[@dunellawesby6635]

God bless Dr Carr and Professor Hunter love love you both the best teachers I've had in my 68 years on this planet 👏🏾👏🏾💜💙💜💙🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@KarenHunterShow]

Ase!

[@donnabohanon1570]

In Washington DC, I attended HS named Woodrow Wilson BUT as of last year it was renamed Jackson-Reed HS after Edna Burke Jackson, the first African American teacher at Wilson High School; and Vincent Reed, an African American principal who became D.C. Public Schools superintendent. So I claim Jackson-Reed. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

[@mildredparks5419]

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.

[@greenbyrd3665]

Absolutely! Be mindful that you are creating memories.

[@charlesjones1588]

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.

[@mildredparks5419]

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

[@greenbyrd3665]

@@mildredparks5419 Wonderful! You took a negative experience and used it to give back in a positive way. Peace to you as well! 😁

[@jefferystewart9252]

Good Afternoon everyone that in class today.

[@JoyceMooreUrbanPatch]

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.

[@gospel4303]

Great Saturday afternoon class with Professor Hunter and Dr. Carr. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world. Love y’all 💕💕💕

[@rowenaburke4689]

Wallking and listening at replay. Indeed on Dunbar living and writing in/on his bitternesses.

From the island country of Bermuda raised globally because I’m a military seed. Father was killed while in a helicopter in 1970 Vietnam. Educated at A&T State University in Greensboro, North Carolina. Thank you Dr. Carr, I am a fan of Sistah Queen Toni Morrison , have every book she wrote from the early 70’s. Thank you for this class every week. We have a REAL responsibility no longer in class teaching but have Afrikan learning school on Sabbath. Elder of Sistah Circle

[@2smart2fail61]

Yes Dr Carr you are Brilliant and a Genius. Yes your human but far above the norm. Each Saturday I receive food of life listening to you and Professor Hunter. Thank for the poem by Paul Dunbar I’ll be order his book as well as Intellectual warfare. I might look for these books from the library. As well as the other 70 books you mentioned. Thank you both for your time.

[@AlphabetSoup123]

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.

[@kimwilliams388]

Toni Morrison was such a brilliant writer. My goal is to write as clear and concise as she wrote.

[@andraelopez5736]

Happy Heavenly birthday to Toni Morrison. My mother who is now an ancestor her favorite book of hers was Tar Baby. Rest in Power Queen. Thank you Professor Hunter and Dr. Carr for your wisdom.

[@4onelove2]

Professor Hunter I share your frustration and share that we have to demonstrate and vent sometimes because it is like DAMN REALLY??? Love what you and Dr. Carr bring and do... Actions that align to purpose!!!! Blessings❤❤❤❤💜💜💜💜

[@staciestacie1327]

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. #InClassWithCarr #Knarrative #KH

[@michellejenkins994]

Love what you said Karen about Toni Morrison. 💕☺️ I agree.

Thank you, Prof. Hunter and Dr. Carr, for filling my Saturdays with 'knowledge nuggets'!! Btw, as you mentioned KZbin, there's a brilliant sistah of ours at Google, Dr. Marion Croak, and she's quite possibly responsible for the KZbin financial growth! She's also loaned her knowledge to AT&T and was responsible for a wealth of inventions during her tenure there (she has over 200 + patents with the USPT)!! This ICWC, Episode 154 was pure 🔥 🔥 🔥!! Thank you both for all the love you share and for putting things in perspective!! Indeed, we'll need SEVERAL oceans of water to clean up all the mess for real!!🙏🏿🖤💯

[@nicolewilliams1636]

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

[@trackgrad08]

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.

[@angeliqueholden4626]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE

[@pamelahall4912]

Karen is so on point with that institutional racism and how you can do all the right things to shift the narrative and doesn't seem to matter.

I attended Paul Lawrence Dunbar in Washington DC and I was very proud to attend Dunbar even though I graduated from School Without Walls in 78 we had our graduation at the the 2nd Dunbar high School into my knowledge there's a new Dunbar high School.

[@blorib53]

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.

[@michellemiller9296]

Bamboozled in hudwigt Yes I have been but I have been with my teachers from day one and I have been unraveled and to realize I like in class with Dr Carr and Karen Hunter Way much better Blessings to my teacher..

[@artistsonthecuttingedge8510]

I am rereading Zora Neale Houston’s book “I Love Myself When I’m Laughing…And Then Again When I Am Looking Mean And Impressive” Great reread!

[@vphiameradisogaarwa]

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.

[@bobbywilsonfunfaithfamilymusic]

[@crystal_bywayofKemet]

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.

Well, I’m here to say that I am proud of all the proud Melanated educated, spiritually in tune Brothas and Sistahs who believe and are doing the work and are examples of Black Excellence as we continue to build we. Give zero credit and attention to the detractors other than to avoid them and protect your loved ones from them.

[@cynthiarose4056]

Me too. I also had to grow into Toni Morrison. As a young woman I knew I wasn’t mature enough then. I had no one to shepherd me through it at the time but now…wow.

[@crystallafayette]

I'm so happy to hear the amount of people who are admitting they didn't 'get' Morrison - I've heard a lot of her interviews in this age of social media, and it's good to know her writing wasn't supposed to be easy reading

[@micheleholley1070]

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.

[@harrietjohnson1930]

Ask folks who disparage the unsheltered if they have had a conversation w/an unsheltered person and listened to their life experience. Suggest the person have a direct conversation to get first hand insight. If we want to understand, shouldn’t we do that anytime our experience differs from someone else’s?

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 😊.
