Dr. Casandra Henriquez: Just think about it. How do we learn about black people in history? They were slaves. MLK did some good things, but he was assassinated. Malcolm X, assassinated. When we talk about all these amazing things that black people did, it's like this counteract to oppress us in the narrative. Even to that school that I emailed, Zibby, I asked them, I said, "Do you teach about the African kings and queens?" The people were taken as slaves from Africa. More than likely, they were royalty. Africa is a rich country. What do you do to highlight that? Then the response was, "Well, I don't know if schools cover African history." I'm like, "Well, they need to." If the only back narrative of America, black starting here, is slavery, I need you to take it one step back to help paint the full picture. Right now as a white child sitting in a classroom, I learn, black and white, you couldn’t eat, you couldn't drink water, you couldn't do what I did, so you're not as good as me. Maybe things got done, but when we talk about race in the classroom, it's usually, this is what was wrong with black people and why they couldn't do what the white kids did. If I'm white, I'm like, oh, okay. Then the black kids are like, oh, man, I couldn't do that? So then the black parents at home have to do this extra reprogramming of, you're so beautiful. Black is beautiful. Let me buy you dolls. Let me tell you how gorgeous you are. Let me tell you how smart you are. The parents have to do all the extra emphasis. The churches have to do, God loves all. Everyone is equal. The synagogues, everybody has to do all of this extra work that if our schools really started to teach our children properly in terms of creating equity, I think we'd be much further. Literally, a hundred percent of our future starts with our children.
