As a board member of Cultural Leadership, I have asked some of the same questions that Pianki Nefa-Kara’s classroom has put forward in this email. I am concerned that our children get proper and adequate education.
Part of the reason I participate with Cultural Leadership is to be a black voice in this exercise of getting young people the knowledge they
need to understand the environment in which they live.
I think your response overlooked the obvious, that the newspaper only has a certain amount of space and chose a particular amount of information to share. The program lasts a year and covers a variety of information about how to understand white supremacy and how it impacts us all.
I am not blind enough to think that this is the end-all answer to white supremacy, nor did I sign on with that expectation. This is another baby step along the journey.
