Our educational system is perpetuating the myth of black inferiority. Why are we teaching millions of children that they come from slaves? That scope is too myopic. Teach them that they come from kings, queens, doctors, warriors, weavers, drummers, dancers, farmers, mathematicians, mothers, fathers, sons and daughters.This is part of a series to be auctioned to benefit Sheenway Schools in LA and Ghana.
