I had "African African American Studies" when I first came to #UniversityPark. Professor Bernard Bell.
http://wordpress.drbwbell.com/biography/

Look at that $#!T man! He was a #superstar I shit you not. The real m*ther f'n deal right there. So much respect for that guy. Loved him. He taght me a lot. I think he may have taught me how, moreover, why to be a man.
I think he knew the guy... civil disobedience at the bridge. congressman.

I've emailed him. He doesn't give a shit. He did thouh. Maybe he did hear what I said, ya know? I only told him the truth. He had a profound impact on my understanding of the #AfricanAmercian condition, but what it means to stand for something; to stand up for something and be prepared to die in doing so.

I guess I'm an asshole for never going across campuss, and living here all these years, and all these really fantastic people being just over there. And they're real people, just like you and me. He'd probably be delighted to see me. Sadly, and this is why i won't continue... ii mean, he was old when he was my professor in 1995. That's all i'm gonna say about that.

Some places in the USA are trying to minimize how much African-American Studies appears on school curriculums, but not San Francisco.

@SFPublicPress reports on how a half dozen high schools in the Bay Area will offer the subject as an Advanced Placement course in the upcoming school year, and why educators are enthusiastic about this.

Yesterday my team published the new AP African American Studies course framework. Incredibly proud and honored to have played a small role in its release and still dumbfounded at how virulently and explicitly racist you have to be as an individual (let alone the governor of a state) to think and say this course teaches kids to hate. https://cb.org/APAfAmStudies #AP #AfricanAmericanStudies

#News: #Arkansas Dept of #Education has pulled a #AdvancedPlacement credit for #AfricanAmericanStudies. #Republican Gov #SarahHuckabeeSanders says "We cannot perpetuate a lie to our students & push this propaganda leftist agenda teaching our kids to hate America & hate one another."

EXCEPT that's what the #Republicans are doing!!! I wrote an essay on the #GOP #CultureWar #politics, #BlackHistory #ColorblindRacism, being #woke or #antiwoke, #DiversityandInclusion, & more

#LittleRock School Dist. in #Arkansas will continue to offer #AdvancedPlacement #AfricanAmericanStudies, over objections of Gov #SarahHuckabeeSanders’ admin, a #Republican who has limited instruction on #race.

The decision comes after the State Dept of #Education announced on Mon that the course’s content might violate a new #law banning “indoctrination” in #schools.
