I am 78 years of age and my Great Uncle and my Grandfather were educators and my Uncle continues to have a school named after him in Jackson Mississippi. They both taught in the one-room school house in the South. My parents have been to college and several of my siblings are college graduates including myself. I have a Bachelors Degree in Finance and am retired from the banking industry. I am 9 semester units away from a Masters in International Finance. The only reason I did not complete the Master's program was due to supporting my family as a single parent. I have a Grand-daughter that recently graduated and teaches math in middle school and my Grandson will graduate with a major in Logistics Management. I truly believe the worst thing that could have happened to our community was integrating the school system. Great discussion.

Thanks for sharing this interview, Dr.Carr ! I'm one of the last students who benefited from educated and caring black teachers before integration. It didn't feel right then, and it doesn't now. Our kids are not received well in the integration system of education.

Thank you, Dr. Carr, and thank you, Dean Fenwick. I am very greatful for both the interview and Dean Fenwick's research. The parallels to education in Africa is somewhat astounding. I will be getting Dean Fenwick's book and a few others recommended here. Please keep up the great work - although my bookshelf space is suffering! 😉 👍🏽👍🏽🙏🏽🖤

Thank you for this important interview! So needed.

This was a fantastic interview. Unfortunately, nothing has changed. After all of the Hope and Change offered during a previous presidency, the U.S. Secretary of Education under that administration had no strong education background and simply had an undergrad degree. If my memory serves me correctly, the comment about his appointment was (I'm paraphrasing), "I needed someone to play basketball with." Not to mention, the U.S. Secretary of Education was a white man. All he needed was basketball skills. That message to children or anyone was quite disturbing. It also indicated the lack of value given to the highest seat of Education.

Loved the show ❤️ Soo informative Testimony to how much education we "NEED" TO be considered QUALIFIED

@Dr. Carr, great discussion, thank you for this! I would love to sit down with you and the BlackStarNetwork to highlight more topics surrounding what we had, and how it was systematically taken away by political decisions. All things from the need that created the NAACP, NNBL, IBPOEW, NC Mutual Life Ins., and so much more, ALL of which are in direct relationship to this particular moment in history. You know these facts well, I have no doubt, but we should highlight the Who, How, What causes lead to our current state and what we can do to recover lost ground. Us Knubians are very serious about our work so I commend you for creating and leading the path for us to bring forth that new day we so seek like a clean glass of water 🙏🏾

I agree Dr. Carr! I felt and still feel robbed when I and others of my childhood neighborhood were bussed to an all- white school that wasn’t as clean and behind academically than my all-Black/Negro school.

[@markcosenza3274]

I grew up in a town where blacks were proud of their school, all black. It was the federal government who forced integration. Like everything the government does, it was a disaster.
