Homeschooling as Resistance and Healing for Black Families | Homeschool Talks Ep. 65
Join Jim Mason (HSLDA Vice President of Litigation and Development) and education professor Cheryl Fields-Smith for a conversation about the emergence of homeschooling in the black community. Their interview covers some common reasons black families are choosing to homeschool, Dr. Fields-Smith’s work researching stories of black homeschoolers, and why Dr. Fields-Smith sees homeschooling as a form of resistance and healing for black families.
“To have single black women who are foregoing a regular income into their home, sometimes at the point where they have to go into subsidized housing in order to homeschool, that is a huge sacrifice to me. I mean, it just made me pay attention.” - Dr. Cheryl Fields-Smith

We need to teach people how to not take things personally as a first generation American I helped both my parents with naturalization because knowing American history was part of the naturalization process at least at the time it was I cant speak to it know but learning about some tragedy and taking what happened as if it happened to you personally is insane. There is no one alive today that is to blame for the past. who do you blame when there is no one to blame. There is a "mentality" that is not being addressed.
