Why did you start it? 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:37.760 Well, so first I want to say again thank you 0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:39.280 to us for having me, and. 0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:41.280 You picked the best day to do this. 0:01:41.920 --> 0:01:45.680 Today we're commemorating in nineteen twenty one Tousa race massacre 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:49.640 where forty city blocks were destroyed in less than a 0:01:49.680 --> 0:01:54.320 few hours. And so today is that day, May thirty first, 0:01:55.280 --> 0:02:00.200 and so we're preparing to you know, demand justice and 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:02.960 also just honored those ancestors. 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:04.640 And so what a great day to do this. 0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:10.440 Black History Saturdays was a response to house those seventeen 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:14.640 seventy five where our Governor Kevin Stidt said, we can't 0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:18.720 teach anything that's going to make white students uncomfortable. 0:02:18.080 --> 0:02:20.400 And our government Oklahoma, I want to make sure we're 0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:23.360 getting people in Oklahoma, the state of Oklahoma. 0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:27.079 So since he did that, I really got pissed off 0:02:27.120 --> 0:02:29.360 and I said, you know what, I'm gonna do something 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:31.560 about it. I was going down there trying to fight, 0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:33.280 and I was like, why am I wasting my time 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:33.600 doing this? 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:34.720 So we need to be doing. 0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:40.560 This ourselves, and so I organized educators pre k to adults, 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.600 found the building that my friend of mine who owns it, 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:49.919 and so every third Saturday of a month we're we're 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.680 having class. It starts at eight forty five, ends at 0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:56.480 two forty five. We do breakfast and lunch and again 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:59.960 pre k to adults. I started out twenty twenty four 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:03.120 with one hundred and twenty participants. Right now I have 0:03:03.200 --> 0:03:05.320 three hundred and eighty five participants. 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:05.880 Wow. 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:10.120 And this house built is not only restricting the teaching 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:13.200 of black history, but it's also banned over one hundred 0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:18.000 books in Oklahoma. Now there's twenty other states that are 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:22.160 doing the same thing, twenty other states, and today there's 0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:25.040 over ten thousand books that have been banned. And of course, 0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:29.400 majority of those books are books of our black people. 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:33.360 Every book of Maya Angelo, Tony Morris, and all the 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:36.520 great black authors restricted banned. 0:03:36.920 --> 0:03:39.040 And you started and as a result, today you started 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:44.320 a band book library. Yes, about that, the band book library. 0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:47.800 I started collecting all the band books that were in Oklahoma. 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:51.280 Now have those so I am starting to collect all 0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.480 the band books across the country. And so right now 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:58.480 we have over twelve hundred titles of books in our 0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:01.360 library and so the community can come in and check 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:04.480 out books. We're actually doing a book swap on June 0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:08.120 twenty sixth or we're just getting people interested in reading 0:04:08.360 --> 0:04:08.880 these books. 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.200 And these are our stories, these are our thoughts, right, 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:12.560 the black thoughts. 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:16.719 And so it's just important that we understand how critical 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:20.840 this is because this Trump administration is just literally erasing 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:24.159 our history, like people are really sitting behind it and 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:27.120 pushing the leete. And so that is what's happening. And 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.599 so we have to protect our own history. We have 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:31.880 to preserve it, and we have to teach it and 0:04:31.920 --> 0:04:32.280 tell it. 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.880 So tell me, Christy Dan, how did you Because some 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.160 people say, I don't know what to do. I can't 0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.839 do nothing. I don't have the resources, I don't have 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:44.279 a platform, I don't have the support. So explain to me, 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:50.240 Christy how you or leaven in a state that and 0:04:50.279 --> 0:04:52.279 that's very important. You know, I joke about that, but 0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:58.640 that's very important because when we talk about pushing against 0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:01.680 white supremacy, there are threats that come with that. And 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:04.480 even physical threats that come with that. So I say that, 0:05:04.839 --> 0:05:07.520 you know, I always tease you about because I'm sure too, 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:12.120 But I say that because to do that, to even 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:15.280 put yourself in physical harm, people need to know, like 0:05:15.320 --> 0:05:17.160 what this really is. So how is it that a 0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:20.840 woman four eleven black women in a state where every 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:24.320 single county vast Republican, in a state that has taken 0:05:24.400 --> 0:05:32.000 some of the most aggressive conservative pushback on this history 0:05:32.279 --> 0:05:35.920 and banning and schools. No national platform because you know, 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:37.880 a lot of people tell me, well, Teszl, you got 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:40.440 a national platform, and not realizing that I didn't start 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.040 with a national platform. I started actually doing the work. 0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:45.640 That's how it became national. Nobody put me in the game. 0:05:46.800 --> 0:05:53.599 No large national program platform in Tulsa, small city. How 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.120 is it that you were able to do this and 0:05:56.160 --> 0:06:00.159 then eventually get partnership with National Geographic But yet so 0:06:00.200 --> 0:06:03.120 many people say what they can't do? Or were you 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:05.080 able to do? What so many people say is just 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.760 literally impossible. And by the way, I haven't even seen 0:06:07.880 --> 0:06:10.560 and it's not and it might be that I don't know, 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:15.839 but I haven't seen large organizations that have funding, that 0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:19.360 have the resources, elected officials that have funding, that have 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:22.200 the resource, they have connections do something like this. So 0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:24.000 how were you able to do it? And what do 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:26.200 you say to those that say I can't do it 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:28.680 because I don't have a platform, Because that's say, first excuse. 0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:34.440 You know, honestly knowing my history and studying people who 0:06:34.640 --> 0:06:37.839 who have done this before, and I understand that the 0:06:37.880 --> 0:06:41.440 great people like a Marcus Garvey and Malcolm X, they 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:42.799 were all gunned down. 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:44.640 They were I mean, you know they were. 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.760 Murdered, you know, and so I know there's a fear, 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:52.119 but understanding that history and that I know the power 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:54.320 that I have in me. But I'm gonna say this 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:58.440 tesling is really because of you that inspire me. You've 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:01.320 inspired me because see people, a lot of people just 0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:04.679 probably caught you, you know now or just a little 0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.640 while ago, but people don't know how you stood. 0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:12.400 You was fighting for Moro Bird right by yourself. You 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:14.440 the hosclass case. 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:17.600 You was right living right by the police department there. 0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:21.720 We saw you doing that. You was doing that by yourself, 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:24.160 and yes you told it me, but you are still short. 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:26.680 You was out there doing that. 0:07:27.560 --> 0:07:32.000 You're training that I that I've always connected to you. 0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:34.720 You showed us, what the power we have to do it. 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:35.960 And you've always said. 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:39.320 Who you wait on? Ain't nobody coming. You just gotta 0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:41.760 do it. You gotta have faith, you gotta trust God. 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:44.000 You gotta take that step. Let God take the resk 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.320 He got you. And you've taught that. 0:07:46.480 --> 0:07:49.880 You You've instilled that in me, and so you people 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:53.640 have to see that in the real time, you know, like, yeah, 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.680 you can study history, but you gotta see people who 0:07:56.840 --> 0:08:00.840 need by example, and people see you, your beautiful woman. 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:03.640 It ain't it's just not just glamour shots for you. 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.520 You you've been in those streets. You are boots on 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:10.640 the ground, and so yeah, you you do that with 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:13.520 your lips on and off. Like people don't understand that, 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:17.160 like and and so, and that's that having that, that 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:20.040 living example, and that's what our kids need to see. 0:08:20.120 --> 0:08:22.240 They need to see the people that they see every 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.920 day out here doing that. And that's what That's what 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:25.760 you gave me. 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:28.200 And so I appreciate it. 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:31.080 I'm just I'm just happy that I've had I'm gonna 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:34.439 say happy, I'm blessed that I've had the training to 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:36.679 push the line and out. I'm not just saying that 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:38.520 because you're my thread that I bought here. 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:39.560 It's the truth. 0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:43.160 There's no other training like the one that you provide, 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:47.000 and there's no realist person out here on. 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:53.560 This national platform than you. And that's just somebody, really, 0:08:53.559 --> 0:08:59.680 I hope with somebody appreciate it. Yeah, that's I appreciate 0:08:59.679 --> 0:09:02.440 you saying. And I wasn't expecting you to say that, 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:04.400 but I do appreciate him. For guys, for those who 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:07.920 are listening, she's talking about a case and to us, Oklahoma, 0:09:08.040 --> 0:09:11.160 Mo Roe Bird, rest in peace to him. And you know, 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:13.319 it was literally just a handful of us out there, 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.360 you know, protesting for him and you know, really trying 0:09:16.360 --> 0:09:18.760 to fight the good fight, and again in these states 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:21.719 where you do not have the support on anybody. In 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:25.280 a matter of fact, my Roe stepbrother, a stepdad, was 0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.840 very critical of us, you know, and he became once 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:31.920 he saw like, yeah, you're your son too. You know 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.000 your son too. They will take his name and they 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:36.600 will turn his name into something and they can be 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:39.120 somebody that he's not. Then he got on board and 0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:43.160 he was lead the protest. So people do I have 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:46.240 to see by example. And that's why, guys, when I 0:09:46.280 --> 0:09:48.520 say when I'm giving all receipts. It's not from a 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:50.440 bragging standpoint. It's because I want you to know it 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:53.119 is a lot of people on these platforms and youtubes 0:09:53.200 --> 0:09:56.360 and podcasters, and you know, they they talk, They love 0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.760 talking about the problems and what we need to do 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:01.520 with to do. But I don't never see you on 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:03.640 the ground. And there's nothing wrong with that. If you 0:10:03.679 --> 0:10:05.320 want to talk about it, talk about it, but I 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:07.520 do there has to be some distinction. There has to 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:09.800 be some distinction because it's one thing for me to 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.480 make relationship podcasts, but ain't never been in a relationship. 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:14.400 It's one thing for me to talk about marriage. They 0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:16.319 never had a marriage. It's one thing they talk about 0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:19.319 children and never had any children. I'll push you back 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:21.240 when people say, well this with kids, and that would 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:23.560 always say do you have children? Oh no, but this 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:27.079 is what I would No, No, we can't. We were not peers. 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:30.680 Great idea, but we're not peers. So there's something to 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:35.040 actually going through it and giving that real information. And 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:37.040 one of the things trained Christy that we talk about 0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:39.240 in the training as you know, because those of y'all 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:42.400 don't know. Christy was the trainee and then became the trainer. 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:45.400 So I hired her in twenty twenty two to come down, 0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.319 both her and Vanessa to come down and actually teach. 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:52.679 I created the format, the modules. Christy went in and 0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:58.400 added her her point of view, and she trained our organizers. 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:01.680 We had I think Christy had the largest class because 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:03.280 we we had three hundred that came from all over 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:06.079 the country. Then they split up in three different rooms 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:09.839 and Christy had the organizers and we did that from 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:13.640 I remember when Christy was adding to the curriculum and 0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:17.079 she started out kind of advanced, and I was like, no, Christy, 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:20.720 start from day one. Start from the point of view 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:23.360 is just sitting in the room and saying what do 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:26.520 I do? He was like, oh, okay, let me start 0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:31.040 because sometimes you know, we think people are at level three, four, five, six, 0:11:31.120 --> 0:11:33.719 you know, No, start from I'm just sitting in the 0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:35.760 room and trying to figure out, God, what do you 0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:39.320 have for me? Let me know, start right there. And 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:41.160 then when I did these said okay, teestim, I see 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:42.920 you want to go, oh oh yes, we have to 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:46.480 teach them from what about about me? What do you 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:49.160 have for me? And we take that for granted. Christy 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:50.679 eating for those and I want you to know what 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:53.240 the training. Even of those who are experienced, or you 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:56.600 think you experienced, I promise you there's another experience that 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.199 I can give you, another perspective, another point of view, 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.360 or somebody in the class. That's why being a part 0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:05.280 of the class, it's not only important Christy to get 0:12:05.280 --> 0:12:08.840 the knowledge, but also the course dashboard, that community form. 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.920 I'm so excited right now people just going in, you know, 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.120 just putting their name and why they're here. But you 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:15.960 watch what I tell you, because I always tell you 0:12:16.000 --> 0:12:19.719 watching it always come up past away every time. The 0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.280 people that are on that dashboard, you guys, you are 0:12:22.280 --> 0:12:24.400 going to connect with each other. You are going to 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:26.520 build with each other. You are going to work with 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:29.040 each other. You don't have to live and talk so 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:31.400 to help Christy. You don't have to live in Atlanta. 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:33.080 To help Mike. You don't have to. These are things 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:34.920 that we can do virtual and Christy, as you know, 0:12:34.960 --> 0:12:37.040 we can't depend on everybody show up. It's just you 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:39.680 and Vanessa most of the time. And that's what on 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:42.360 that module when I say it's not about me, it's 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.400 not about we, It's about what Christy. It's about we. 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:49.200 It's about me. No, it's not about me. Yeah, it's 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:51.480 about me. Don't be talking about what they ain't doing. 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:53.760 What you're doing though, what you're putting on the game. 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:57.319 So I am excited about that. I also want to talk. 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:03.720 Christy has been funded, praise God, buy National Geographic to 0:13:03.960 --> 0:13:07.080 do this program several hundred thousand dollars cent. So she'd 0:13:07.200 --> 0:13:10.079 love to her see when you don't have it, he 0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:12.480 will send you somebody. You know. The body says, I'll 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.200 send you a comforter and sometime they comfort the center check. 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:18.960 And so she has been funded in this program, but guys, 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:22.120 I cannot tell you enough. I want to make sure 0:13:21.920 --> 0:13:25.360 that she also has some independent funding as well, with 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:27.880 a five in the check if you all believer. I 0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:29.920 want to make sure sees one thing. Give money to 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:32.240 people y'all that ain't doing the work, and it's another 0:13:32.320 --> 0:13:34.440 to do it, to see it, to look at the pictures, 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:36.640 to see the videos and see what they're doing. Christy 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:38.800 is doing the work work, and she feeding folks who 0:13:38.880 --> 0:13:43.240 give them greens and hammocks and chicken wings. And I'm like, damn, 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:45.120 Christy ain't with a four hour class. They come here, 0:13:45.280 --> 0:13:47.440 he's full breakfast and they get a full loun you 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:49.559 know that she really really give it to it and 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:52.480 it's free in person. It's free in person in Tulsa. 0:13:52.880 --> 0:13:55.640 But we will also want to bring this class online. Guys. 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.280 The first class was a July nineteen. What day did 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:03.040 you say? So like July nineteeenth. She's doing it through 0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.480 to push the line platform. My platform, guys, says Faigo 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:07.880 dot com. Right now, you can just sign up to 0:14:07.920 --> 0:14:09.880 get on the mailer's list. Be guys, I am going 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:11.760 to be charging for that class. So if y'all think 0:14:11.760 --> 0:14:14.439 it's not it is. It's fifty bucks, it's no you know, 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:18.360 like everything else, two hour class with Christy and she'll 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:21.000 have plenty of course materials for you to download, trust me, 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:24.840 because she loves she loved course tis when she was 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.840 doing the classic Christy here if you add another slide, 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:32.160 she loves slides, she loved graphy, she loved christ Butteria. 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:36.120 So you're going to get overloaded of information. And this 0:14:36.320 --> 0:14:38.800 is a class that I really want to be clear about. 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:41.160 The fifty dollars CHRISTI, I want to say per household. 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:43.280 And the reason why I say that is because I 0:14:43.320 --> 0:14:46.040 want you to gather your friends and family around. We're 0:14:46.080 --> 0:14:49.400 not trying to not trying to be stingy every fifty everybody. 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:51.120 I can't control it anyway, you know, if you're in 0:14:51.320 --> 0:14:53.600 fifty people in the room. But I am saying this 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:57.640 intentionally that I want you to think about who can 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:00.680 be in that room with you. Have a girl Saturday, 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:04.120 have your cousins come over, have your family come over, 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:07.080 so that you can get this information from Christy. I 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:09.320 can't do it for free. She can no longer keep 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:11.160 doing everything for free because I want she's gonna be 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.680 paid for that, just so y'all know, I want those 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:16.760 revenues so she can have another stream because the thing 0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:18.960 that out of is gouds. We can't always soly depend 0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:21.640 on grants, as y'all see right now with this trave administration, 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:24.240 they can take away grants overnight. And we want this 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:27.280 program but still be alive and well. So although I 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:32.240 appreciate her doing it in Oklahoma online, I'm using my PLATFORMORM. 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:34.520 I'm to partner with Christy and I'll be even tell Chrissy, 0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:36.680 you need to continue to do stuff. I've encouraged her, 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:38.720 just say, y'all know, continue to do stuff on your 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:41.640 own online. Continue to do that online, but still charge 0:15:41.640 --> 0:15:45.960 people because you have to get something, you know, for 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:49.760 this information so that you are in a position to 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:54.320 continue the program if the grant stops, and that is 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:57.320 the main thing, and it takes funding, you doing, yeah, 0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:00.840 a full time damn job, you know. So it's j 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:05.800 July nineteenth. Guys, sign up at teeslimfigo dot com. That's 0:16:05.840 --> 0:16:09.120 the pre order.

I think right now 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:13.200 we have about thirty five people because I said, I 0:16:13.280 --> 0:16:14.960 want to just kind of see, you know, who will 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:18.080 be interested.

If you 0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:02.800 have any questions asking now. If not, I'm gonna not 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:05.960 take too much time on your Saturday do anything else, Chris, 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:06.920 you want to close out with. 0:17:07.720 --> 0:17:10.639 I just want to tell people when they take this 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:14.199 class on July nineteen, it's not going to be just 0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:17.439 your ordinary black black history class. Of course, you're going 0:17:17.520 --> 0:17:20.400 to be learning black history, but you're gonna be learning 0:17:20.440 --> 0:17:23.800 about a blueprint and a lot of people, like we 0:17:23.920 --> 0:17:27.720 talk about the massacre that happened in Greenwood Black Wall Street, 0:17:27.960 --> 0:17:31.000 but we're gonna be talking about how they rebuilt because 0:17:31.040 --> 0:17:33.199 it's so important for us to not be stuck on 0:17:33.280 --> 0:17:36.680 the tragedy that happened May thirty. 0:17:36.400 --> 0:17:37.840 First, nineteen twenty one. 0:17:38.359 --> 0:17:40.840 But people need to know that we were built by 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:43.320 nineteen twenty five and it was better than what it 0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:47.160 was before. And so you're gonna learn about how that happened. 0:17:47.320 --> 0:17:48.800 Is that what you're gonna do for your first class, 0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:55.520 Kay class, and we're going to talk about the enslaved 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:58.960 Africans who was on the trail of tears and talk 0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:02.359 about the tribes in Oklahoma and how black folks have 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:05.640 been freedman of these tribes. And so they're gonna get 0:18:05.680 --> 0:18:08.600 something that you know, don't get everywhere, that you don't 0:18:08.600 --> 0:18:12.840 get everywhere. And so this is gonna be a reading lesson, 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:17.000 but it's also going to kind of, I think, really 0:18:17.119 --> 0:18:20.600 push them as we push the line, because they're gonna 0:18:20.600 --> 0:18:23.119 get all the nuggets that you give Kuseling, but this 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:25.600 one is I think it's gonna ground them into history 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:27.920 and letting them know that this can be done. 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:30.320 And so come ready to learn. 0:18:30.280 --> 0:18:34.320 And you're gonna lead, Ready to lead, and we're gonna 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:35.640 do that with our stories. 0:18:35.640 --> 0:18:38.480 But it's so important to talk about the rebuild. That's 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:40.920 what we need. Yeah, let's make sure you tiled it 0:18:41.000 --> 0:18:42.600 that like, that's make sure we put that in the court, 0:18:42.640 --> 0:18:45.200 like you know, the rebuild, because right now we are 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:47.879 in a build. If you've never built, if we're in 0:18:47.920 --> 0:18:50.879 the building stage, we're in the rebuilding. If I know, 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:52.920 if it's one thing I know of how to rebuild, y'all, 0:18:53.000 --> 0:18:56.119 I can live move probably fifteen times, five different states, 0:18:56.160 --> 0:18:59.520 star stop, star stop, star stop, start over, lose it all, 0:18:59.560 --> 0:19:02.359 start over, lose it all, start over, lose it all. Man, 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:04.560 I know a little bit. Somebody rebuild it as I 0:19:04.640 --> 0:19:06.280 was there fighting for the Morrow birth case in the 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:09.080 hospital rep case. That was me leaving Orlando, Florida because 0:19:09.080 --> 0:19:11.240 we lost the contract to do to healthcare reform and 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:14.359 I had nothing. I was working for fifty dollars a 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:19.359 day substitute teaching and still fighting, still fighting. What was 0:19:19.400 --> 0:19:22.160 going to the radio working for free, you know, doing 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:23.760 what I could to work free, work for free on 0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:26.160 their case. By the way, one pay one dollar, one 0:19:26.240 --> 0:19:30.479 pay one dollar. So yeah, we definitely got the stories. 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:33.399 And man, god it so in any awesome guy, Christy, 0:19:33.920 --> 0:19:36.960 I'm so excited to be going back to Orlando ten 0:19:37.040 --> 0:19:40.359 years later.
