I remember having a quiz at our after school program at the community center on Black inventors. We got all those questions wrong because Carver and the peanut.

We were pissed. Why hadn’t we learned about any of these amazing people in school?!

I also remember 7th grade riding back from a basketball game and we were talking Black history and my homie said “they talk about MLK but never talk about Malcolm X.

Who???

Went to the library and started taking out books.

Also have to give a shout out to hip hop. BDP, PE brought up names that made me search for knowledge.

YOU.MUST.LEARN!!!
