Never had a Black teacher, which is one of the reasons I became an educator.

Also POC from Eastern Mass, also didn’t have a Black teacher until Junior year of college

lost sound!

nevermind, got it back

Shona, check your audio settings at the bottom of the screen

That's enlightening about K - 12, "one Black Teacher = College bound"

Or when you’re the only POC in the classroom when reading Huck Finn & the n-word is being flung around…

Freshman yesr at Morgan State was first I ever heard about Tulsa

@surfs, The Watchmen tv series was the first time I ever heard of Tulsa 😭

Me too, @surfs. It gets me so angry just thinking about how history can be so warped.

I figured that would be the case when first watching the series @Jenn Kelley, and I was troubled that there would be folks that would watch it as "entertainment," and most might not believe it to be real American history.

I lived in Tulsa growing up and ONLY heard about the riots from family.

Horrific.

And all by design.

Just saw this in The Nib today!!!!

If you have any questions for Keith you can put them in the Q&A tab!

Smalls is a GREAT story!

After the Nat Turner uprising, there was a hot second where Virginia asked "wow, should we just end this slavery nonsense?" and then they remembered how good the money was and the answer was no.

No/few/different GI Benefits for Black soldiers was a system, Don't tell me there's no systematic racism

Dear God

Trigger warnings would be helpful

Even with video. Rodney King?

Simply Horrifying!!!

Even on video they get away with it. Rodney King cops never held accountable

Reasons I love The National Memorial for Peace and Justice Memorial. So many stories that we don't know about because they weren't caught on camera

WHO WE ARE: A Chronicle of Racism in Americahttps://www.sonyclassics.com/film/whoweare/

We recognize that some of these images are jarring and will work to have trigger warnings in the future.

We are moving into the Q&A portion. Please add any questions you have for Keith in the Q& A box.

How much has entertainment changed since Minstrel Shows? Black music is one of America's greatest contribution and import. Hip Hop also created in America like Minstrel Shows.

@Paul, I met 'Pac at an after-party when I was in college, what a deep, sweet, intelligent brother he was!
