In Class with Carr, Ep. 70: "Lovecraft Country" and a Tribute to Mary McLeod Bethune!

[@MariaCribbs]

I be feeling extra intelligent after my Saturday class!! Thank you!! Now I’m on my way to purchase more books.

[@sanmorgan8255]

Five book shelves filled, chairs, and adding to the floor piles.

[@JOYAINVA]

@56:30, Dr. Carr just transitioned from the story of meeting Medgar Evers’ family at Arlington cemetery to the map posted by Misha Green that gave us a preview of what WOULD have been the second season of Lovecraft Country. When I tell you, I felt this man’s words in my spirit…whew chile! Come on thru wit it Dr. Carr!!! 👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿 There are no words to describe the passion of these two master teachers. How fortunate are we to be under the sound of their voices?? DAYUM!!!!

[@MooreVoicesMedia]

This segment of the presentation hijacked my soul. I had no control over how I felt. I just enjoyed and documented the ride.

[@ravenbland3455]

This was so good! I’m so glad my coworker put me on to Urbanview, because people in my age group (25) don’t regaularly talk about or have interests to put me on to this. I’ve grown so much as a young black female because of Urbanview, and now In Class with Carr and Knarrative. It’s changed my life forever. No going back now.

[@MooreVoicesMedia]

This…is…beautiful! Your generation is the one that will lead us. Trust me on that.

[@KarenHunterShow]

Love that and thank your coworker for me!

[@shaunicymuhammad]

Dr. Greg Carr is such a gem 💎 I love to watch him do his thang. I'm so infinitely grateful for this education Professor Hunter. ❤ I pray Zaila Avant-Garde has a great village around her to shield her. She is getting a lot of national and international attention. I agree with Dr. Carr, she's still a child, not one of their "magical" black people.

Thank you Prof. Hunter and Dr. Carr for this very informative and up there as 'one of the best' "In Class With Dr. Carr"!! From the f/u history lesson on Haiti to Zaila Avant-Garde, "lil Miss child without limits" - Prof. Hunter!🙌🏾🙌🏾 Love me some NHJ and TNC! But, I'll take Prof. Hunter and Dr. Carr any day!! Thanks also for unknown (to me) stories of Mary McLeod Bethune! She was a proud to be Black woman!! My favorite quote of hers "The drums of Africa still beat in my heart. They will not let me rest while there is a single Negro boy or girl without a chance to prove his worth". It speaks volumes of who she was and how much value she placed on education!! You both ALWAYS bring ancestral history with you to Class and I love that immensely!! THANK you!!! BTW, Dr. Carr is a Jack-of-all trades, lol!!❤ it!!💯

[@tamilhoward9708]

Thank you Prof! You are dead on about people being so comfortable being so damn ignorant! This Saturday's lesson was priceless.

So good! So much information I had to write it down. I caught the live and people when I tell you, I felt like I found the gathering of the Matrix Destroyer Tribe! I didn’t want it to end, I felt free, woke and hopeful. I gotta watch it again right now! I can listen to Dr. Carr all day live in the present, truth and reality. ❤️❤️❤️

With ALL due respect, Prof's Hunter and Carr, you NEVER fail to speak my own mind, heart or conscience and/ or consciousness. Yes, the future of education is right here upon us. Rebuilding, our collective DNA is clearly the process we are currently engaged in - albeit with the love and guidance of our ancestors. Continuing to engage in this process, reaching out, touching and even HOLDING hands, we will find that we form an unbroken chain which will encompass the globe, SEVERAL times over. And we will understand it better by and by..... Thank you ( again from Poland).

ALWAYS blessed to be present for your conversations. Loved this. I read "The Destruction of Black Civilization" by Chancellor Williams way back. It's time for me to give my daughter some books to introduce her to those histories. Because I know about Dr. Carr's visionary org, ASCAC, and the many criticisms that have been leveled against Williams, I wonder what books Dr. Carr would recommend to tweens learning broadly about African histories and how those civilizations shaped the world. Would also be honored for a big stack of book recommendations from either of you (for ages 10-16?) :) The long struggle continues

[@MooreVoicesMedia]

Ma’am, I have a phenomenal story on how I read Chancellor Williams “The Destruction of Black Civilization” in January of 2013. Confirmed what I knew in my spirit but had not yet read in writing. At that moment, the revolution sped up in my body.

As always outstanding video Professor Hunter & Dr. Carr. It is loaded with valuable information . As a child I remember hearing remarkable stories of the life of Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune. My father shared with me meeting Mrs. Bethune when he was stationed in Florida .By the way another great book is “Mary McLeod Bethune Her Own Words of Inspiration” by Florence Johnson Hicks. I would encourage everyone read" My last will & Testament ", it is inspiring .My favorite quote is “ Our children must never lose their zeal for building a better world. They must not be discouraged from aspiring toward greatness, for they are to be the leaders of tomorrow. These words are a fitting tribute to Zaila Avant-garde,& Black youth every where. RIP Dr.. Frederick Humphries(TSU)

Yet another addition to the library thanks to Dr. Carr! 😂 I was first introduced to the Green Book by an uncle who told me that book was necessary for him during his travels. I was a kid then so I didn’t pick up on the incredible history he was sharing. Thanks so much to you both and thank you for Prof. Hunter for Knarrative.
