Well thank you for being here.

I have some good news for you.

We launched a black studies curriculum and it made the New York Times from K to 12.

Despite what's coming out of federal government, we will continue to carry it.

And, it doesn't only support slavery, we talk about all of the great things that black Americans have done in this country from music to economics to science.
