At 70, I look forward to the 2 hours with y'all each week. I'm going to Ghana in December for the first time to the Motherland. However, there are landmarks on this side of the ocean that need to be visited to be added to the "bucket list". Much gratitude, ASE'

[@99alfailiwaqain51]

Salaam! I worked on this project at Howard University! I was an Osteological lab technician (Physical Anthropology)! My teachers were Dr. Michael Blakey & Dr. Shomarka O’Kieta.. Dr. Mack was a very talented and intelligent Brother…Rest in Power! Dr. Jackson was at the University of Maryland; when I was introduced to her in 1994! She specialized in Zoological Science. What a beautiful woman she is..

[@jaymillymills]

Each ICWC feels like that generational healing therapy session you didn't know you needed. I am moved by every class.

[@KarenHunterShow]

it is. It really is.

[@whowearedocumentary2204]

We are Documentarians, too!!! Our stories MUST be told with TRUTH nd accuracy!!!!!

[@p.w.7493]

Talk about "who we're to each other", Prof. Hunter and Dr. Carr!! That 'backdrop' right there is a loud and clear reminder of whose shoulders we truly stand on!! Again, I say thank you for creating this space!! And, thank you for the information-packed Episode 157 of ICWC!! We know the ancestors are rejoicing just hearing y'all talking about them!! Meanwhile, shout-out to Lorraine Hansberry for standing tall as a warrior female in order to create her masterpiece for us all to be inspired by!!👏🏾👏🏾 May she Rest Easy in Peace and Power!! Also, salutes to Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee!! 💐💐💐 Today, we stand tall because they walked this earth!!🙏🏿🖤💯

[@NeheC7]

That African Burial Ground should’ve been part of that African American History AP course! Thank you Prof. Hunter for creating this platform. Thank you Dr. Carr for reminding us by actually being physically there to show everyone. A detailed movie, updated documentary and book should be made on a massive scale. I’ve traveled the world and visited many African monuments throughout the Mother continent but that visual background behind Dr. Carr is extremely powerful in itself.

[@isachayden9987]

Dr Carr is a treasure, man! I love this man.

[@myrahj1482]

Dr Carr is an absolute national treasure. His knowledge and passion is priceless. We lift you up in love & light. ✨️😥💖

[@alext442]

"Dr. Carr, what are you feeling right now?" We get a better sense of the emotion behind the tears. We should all be better for hearing his answer. Thank you for asking the question, Prof. Hunter. This is what sets you apart from other shows.

[@nicandrews1370]

I thought that was one of the best moments during this class session. It was so organic. Dr. Hunter used her excellent journalism skills and deepened the moment. It was such a vivid, descriptive, and gentle moment.

[@cathylewis3967]

The African Burial Ground is a sacred place which everyone must visit when they come to the NYC. If you stand quietly in that special space, you can literally feel the spirit of the ancestors.

[@yvonnelynch6965]

Another powerful class, I am so moved to my core. Dr Carr, Professor Hunter, Thank you! 😢 ☃️❤️🖤💚,🇯🇲

[@drmilliemd]

This information is so important. Always glad to be in class

[@michaelhatcher5264]

[@carlosellerbe-j501]

I had the honor of analyzing our ancestors' remains from this site with professor Mark. E Mack....RIP. He is missed.

[@cynthiarose4056]

[@sstill2008]

I will not be able to hold it together when you two are in Kemet (Egypt) this Summer. This African knowledge from Dr. Carr is spirit filling and necessary. I am so beyond every emotion that is good that you two started "In Class with Dr. Carr"!!! As always much Love!

[@KarenHunterShow]

I will not be joining this time. It is a trip hosted by Dr. Carr and Dr. Beatty.

[@marlenethornton490]

Good morning classmates. Blessings to Professor Hunter, Dr Carr and my classmates.

[@rosslaverdure]

Whenever she would tear up while telling a story, my grandmother would pause and nod like Baba Carr. Thank you both for this intimate moment.

[@rosslaverdure]

Thank you for 157 intimate moments

[@KarenHunterShow]

Ase!

[@tyrone21c]

So grateful for Dr. Carr's tour of the African Burial Ground. I always encourage anyone who visits NYC to go to the Burial Ground.

[@Cneph1964]

Wow, I conduct walking tours and the African Burial Ground National Monument is my last stop! Thank you for that insight Dr. Carr!

[@buildingbetterbridges3891]

Love this history lesson today. Very near and dear to my ❤ . Being a native new Yorker in the lenape territory, only learning about this as an adult. I took a group of students there when they unveiled the monument in 2007. Too bad we didn't know you were in town Dr. Carr would love to meet you one day. I met Prof Hunter at Sirius xm in 2019. I was grateful for the opportunity. 🙏🏽

[@bowerydoll]

Dr. Carr.....You are a gift to this complicated world x0x0x0x

[@iballot022012]

Hello Queen Karen & King Carr Thank you so much for all that you do for us. 🖤🌹👑 I'm listening from Tirana Albania after escaping from Amurdikkka 🇺🇸 on my way to reside in Ghana 🇬🇭 Prior resident of Buffalo NY. Can't deal with the racism anymore!👻😡

[@cynthiarose4056]

Congratulations. Good for you. Asé!!!

[@michaelhatcher5264]

You guys are teaching great knowledge 📖

[@russellbeverly94]

Professor Hunter, when you asked Dr. Carr, what he was feeling, Dr Carr summond a spirit within. That's life. An inside job. Thanks again.

[@kdot9929]

He’s more and more selling me Howard University. I’ve made my vow in my teens to only ever get a degree from an HBCU. And every weekend Carr grows on me. 👏🏾👏🏾 I’ll continue to do research on the programs they offer. I’ll definitely upset some of my professors with my choice but o well.

[@robertpendergrass7996]

Good for you going to a HBCU ! My daughter got a degree from North Carolina A an T. I was truly so happy she chose a HBCU.

[@tandt7694]

My daughter said it's the best thing she did, and the only college she's paying for when it comes to her children.

One of the best conversations between two intellectual giants! Ase. ✊🏾✊🏾🖤🖤💎💎❤❤🌍🌍

[@apharaohamoungkings4086]

Love & appreciate you both. The Empathy, connection, ways of knowing. Great EP

[@apharaohamoungkings4086]

I picked up the Nigeria fact after ep 155/6, great to hear about Ghana regaining strength as well. They are well aware, Karen. They're trying to dog whistle the idea of another baby boom in the US. It's really something to watch generational karma, in real time.

[@kennethdavis5309]

Thanks for this very much appreciated...

[@josiahwalker5431]

Simply amazing how I’ve never learned any of this in high school or college. Thanks Professor Hunter, and DR. Carr! The best is yet too Come..

I have no words for today's lesson, just emotions.❤️❤️❤️

Who else initially thought Dr. Carr had a super fly backdrop? I'm blown away EVERY SATURDAY when I find out just how much I dont know 🤦🏾‍♀️😥

[@justmyopinion9883]

This is a beautiful history lesson. Thank you Professor Hunter and Dr Carr.

[@swaddell11]

Teach Dr Carr!!! Thanks again Dr Carr and the dynamic Karen Hunter. 🔥👊🏽

[@sharonlycorish3668]

Yes. That is how we celebrate our ancestors and that is part of all our peoples history. Moving and triumphant at the same time.

[@kmttaseti]

I visited and paid homage to our ancestors. It was empowering and emotional. And it was great to be in the company of those who lived so that we may live.

[@Hayes_in_Environment]

This is one space, be it digital, I find community, identity, safety, healing, and self-awareness.

[@asantewaaharris8185]

Thank you so much for this important lesson. I was a member of the Descendant Community who held the grounds as SACRED before it had a name. We sang, drummed, danced in honor of our Ancestors. I’m Brooklyn born & now residing in another Lenape land aka NJ.

I love seeing In Class with Carr out on a field trip in one of his homes away from home! Dr. Carr out there in them NYC streets! The amount of prodigious talent it took to create the architecture and artwork at the African Burial Ground is incomprehensible! Excellent class, truly grateful for knarrative, knubia and this space. ❤🖤💚

Thank you for this Blessing ❤❤

[@dennistaylor6342]

As a native New Yorker born in Manhattan. This speaks to me. Thank you professor Hunter and Dr. Carr. We were never told about this in school. Never!

[@purpleness64]

Dr. Carr felt that! His speaking from the space is beautiful is meaning making.

[@delberthudson]

Thank you dr. Car and Professor Hunter, because of your teachings I will be going to New York in May and I will go to the African burial. Just went online and purchase my ticket for that monument May 4th if it hadn't been for Professor Hunter and Dr. Carr I wouldn't have any knowledge of this God bless you both 🙏🙏🙏

[@bobbywilsonfunfaithfamilymusic]

Dr. Carr, Professor Hunter, thank you for Ep.157 and presenting the rich history of our ancestors and other facts relative to our history. You are appreciated, kudos.

[@2smart2fail61]

Thank you thank Dr Carr. I love your knowledge your feelings your soul. ❤❤❤

[@jimmyrayford2944]

I only found out about this sacred site a couple of years ago. I have been inspired by Dr. Carr to go find historical black sites wherever I travel. So in October 2021, my then 12 year old daughter and I visited this site. I don’t have the vocabulary to express what I felt while on the grounds. Now, as I hear Dr. Carr give the full historical context, it means even more. Never Again. 🖤

[@yusiyola2011]

Wow! Wow wow! I will never not show up for this ! Thank you both seriously! I cannot get this anywhere else

[@gospel4303]

I’m loving Dr. Carr and our field trip experience ! Your narration is superb!Omgoodness!!! Sooo amazing

[@startpage717]

Thank you for the link, Prof. Hunter. I have no excuse and I am now in Knarrative moving forward (it is open on my computers). As always Thank you both...

[@tionyawashington5591]

I felt that too my brother. That's why it's soo important to remember who we are and where we came from .

[@robertwalker8453]

This is by far the most memorable and impactful episodes of ICWC, that I have experienced. The words "meaningful" and "masterful" do not even begin to describe the depth of gravitas and measure of power that Dr. Carr commands.

[@clairekalemkeris4606]

A truly profound class, thankyou for the sacred time and space that is In Class with Carr and the creation of Knarrative and Nubia sending love and blessings from Greece.

[@sharonlycorish3668]

Tell it, Dr. Carr!

[@purpleness64]

Good everything!!!

[@russellbeverly94]

Thank you from my heart, Professor Hunter, and Dr.Carr. My grandmother Elizabeth Lee would have been 99 years young today. She passed 6 years ago and would be proud of the work you both have so unselfishly done. My mother Rev. Dr. Arnetta E. Beverly is semi retired and preaches at St. Stephen's United Methodist Church in Lexington, NC. She is humble as pie. St. Stephen's had a section for slaves that is now a part of the Sunday School area. It is a historic black church in Davidson County, North Carolina. If anyone is in my contact, they get forwarded your platform and narrative. We are making our history for the next generation of people of color and the world one day at a time. Much love Russell

[@KarenHunterShow]

Happy birthday to your grandmother. She lives in you. And in me.

[@Lfrankcrowe]

It's a great NPS museum. The final conversation I had with John Henrik Clarke and the only time he ever called me (I treasure that) was back in 1995 when he was on the African Burial Ground committee. He asked for my suggestions for a proper monument. I suggested Martin Delany's idea for the Lincoln Monument, which I sent him. Delany's idea was a statue of an African woman with African features (no Lincoln) looking up with arms outstretched (like Ethiopia) with her tears falling into an African bowl. I took my sisters there back in 2017. "why are we going to a grave?" they asked. After the visit they bought t-shirts and a complete set of Adinkra cups.

[@gregarnold4816]

Ase' Baba!!

[@sharonlycorish3668]

Yes Dr. Carr. Historical facts through our African and Nubian eyes. We are learning together. We must figure out how to protect Nubia from those who would want to "burn" it down just as they did our Black Wall Street and Rosewood communities.

[@cathylewis3967]

I love this show!

[@lindaj.925]

Hi Mrs Hunter and Dr Carr, on this beautiful morning from the Sunshine State, Blessings!

[@williamyoung5052]

Thanks again for another great episode . It brought to mind the rumor that when I lived in Manhattan that infant skeletons were found in the foundations of old Catholic Churches in lower Manhattan that were being demolished . I could not find any corroborating evidence but there have been numerous documentations of infant skeleton burial grounds associated with the Catholic Church world wide presumably resulting from White nun pregnancies. It may be irrelevant . In any event makes me think why would they care what happens to the dead bodies of Black people given this behavior. How much more powerful would the play “Raisin in the Sun” would have been if it had been a more accurate portrait of Lorraine Hansberry’s life experience . Her mother and father brandished pistols in their home against the “lovely white citizens of Chicago” who were fire bombing their home after they had the temerity to move into their neighborhood.Her father was so disaffected with the USA that he moved to Mexico. I also question how much influence her White husband had on the construction of the play. Peace & Blessings ☮️🙏🏾
