1
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: It's topic time.

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 2: So eight hundred and five five one five one to

3
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,160
Speaker 2: join into the discussion with the Breakfast Club.

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 3: Morning everybody, It's DJ Envy Charlamagne de God. We are

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 3: the Breakfast Club now if you're just joining us. We

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:20,840
Speaker 3: were talking about something in Front Page News earlier today.

7
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:24,239
Speaker 3: It was the fact that Florida Border Education approves new

8
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 3: Black history standards that teach house slaves develop skills for

9
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 3: their personal benefit. So we were talking about, since they're

10
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 3: pulling pretty much Black history out of schools now and

11
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 3: pulling out the books and don't want to teach Black history,

12
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 3: what do we need to do as a community to

13
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,319
Speaker 3: make sure that our young kids actually know what went

14
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 3: on in black history and the future generation and how

15
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 3: do we educate them?

16
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 4: That was the question that we were having this morning.

17
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 2: Well, you know, like I said earlier, you know, you

18
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 2: can't depend on white institutions to teach teach our kids.

19
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 2: You know, that is something the Nation of Islam and

20
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 2: other great black leaders have been telling us since the

21
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 2: beginning of time. For me, I feel like we just

22
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 2: got to encourage our kids to read. You know, we

23
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 2: have to recommend books for them to read. I was

24
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 2: blessed to have a mother who was a Jehovah's witness

25
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 2: and an English teacher, so you know, she kept the

26
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 2: Bible in my face and watched Howers and Awake.

27
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: So that was the first little child was exposed to.

28
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 2: Then we had the book at program when I was

29
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 2: a kid in elementary school and I was reading four

30
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 2: books to get a free pizza, and my mom told

31
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: me read things that don't pertain to you. That's when

32
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: I started reading Julie Bloom and Beverly Clearly and all

33
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 2: that stuff. And then my pops, you know, he gave

34
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 2: me books like the Autobiography of Malcolm X, which led

35
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 2: me down a rabbit hole of wanting to know everything

36
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 2: I could about the NI But also any book that

37
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 2: I saw Malcolm X reference, I read it.

38
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: You know, And I've always done that.

39
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 2: If I read a book and then they reference another

40
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: book in that book, then I'll go read, you know

41
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 2: that book. That's why I thought, you know, when somebody

42
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: like Nipsey Hustle was alive, you know, he was so

43
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: brilliant because Nipsey would always reference different books in his interviews.

44
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 2: Nipsey Hustle even had a booklest that he put out,

45
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: you know, And I think that's that's what you have

46
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: to do. You just got to encourage, you know, our

47
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 2: kids to read and recommend them things to read.

48
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with you.

49
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 3: I said earlier that I think we need to develop

50
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 3: more program like even in the church, right, a lot

51
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 3: of black families go to church together and have those

52
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:08,519
Speaker 3: days where we teach about our black history and black heroes.

53
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 3: But also I think as parents, I think parents need

54
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 3: to knowledge themselves, you know, because it's very difficult to

55
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 3: teach your child if you don't have the proper history.

56
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 3: It's like anything else. Like you know, my father's a

57
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 3: retired police officer. He was able to teach me laws

58
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 3: when I was a kid and teach me about just

59
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 3: things as far as you know, what to do if

60
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 3: I get pulled over what laws mean and how the

61
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 3: judicial system works, because he was part of it.

62
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 4: Same thing with my kids.

63
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 5: You know.

64
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 3: I have a daughter that's in the school, you know,

65
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 3: in college right now for real estate and just past

66
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: or exam. I have a son that is doing real

67
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 3: estate now and sold his first house. But like these

68
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 3: are things that they learned from their father. But like

69
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 3: you said, I think we have to educate ourselves so

70
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 3: we can actually educate our children, because there's a lot

71
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 3: with Black history that I'm still learning now because I

72
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 3: honestly wasn't taught as a child.

73
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 2: I envy people who've gone to African American studies, you know,

74
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: I mean, I love the way, you know, somebody like

75
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 2: an Amanda Seals can just reference history so quickly, somebody

76
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: like a Michael Eric Dyson, and you know, we know,

77
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 2: we know the literacy race in black and brown communities

78
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 2: are high.

79
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:10,519
Speaker 1: That's a whole other conversation.

80
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 2: That's that's actually why Kevin Hart and I started our

81
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: company with Audible SBAH Production, because you know, I think

82
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 2: that sometimes it's not that kids aren't reading, there's just

83
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 2: other ways for them to get that information.

84
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 1: So instead of reading nowadays, people are listening, you know.

85
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 2: So it's like I always had the idea of even

86
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 2: though we did put out you know, finding to me

87
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 2: because some of it, some of the eighty five, some

88
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 2: of eighty five is about you know, what happened the

89
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 2: move organization in Philadelphia. But I always thought that kids,

90
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: always thought that kids could take in this information by listening.

91
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 1: I lost my train of thought. Just now, how the

92
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: hell I lost my train of.

93
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 2: Thought, like, oh, I was saying, I think I think

94
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 2: that kids can learn, you know, more more by listening

95
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 2: now than actually picking up books and reading.

96
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 5: Yeah.

97
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: Oh, and I wanted celebrity, That's what I was gonna say.

98
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: I wanted celebrities to do the audiobooks, right. That that

99
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: was an I then we had when we launched this company,

100
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: have celebrities reading audiobooks, right, And you know, Audible kind

101
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: of took the idea and they had launce Fishburn READAUGHTERI

102
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 2: bigraphy of Malcolm X.

103
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: But that's fine as long as it happens, you know.

104
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,000
Speaker 4: But but you know what too, And I would also

105
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 4: say this for a lot of parents.

106
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 3: A lot of times we take our kids to, you know,

107
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 3: on vacation, and vacation can mean many different things from

108
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 3: many different people. It can mean taking them to six Flags,

109
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 3: it can mean taking them to Miami for Disney World

110
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 3: or whatever. And I think sometimes and that's fine, but

111
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,800
Speaker 3: we we're gonna have to think of alternative things to do,

112
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 3: like going to somebody experiences, right, but like going to museums,

113
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 3: like the museum that just opened up in South Carolina, one.

114
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 4: That's opened up in DC. And even when in South Carolina,

115
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 4: I want.

116
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,400
Speaker 3: To go to because there's so much history, right you

117
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 3: learn that's where you know a lot of that's where

118
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 3: the first ships came that a lot of us, you know,

119
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 3: touch touched down on on this land. So I would learn.

120
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 3: I would love to learn that history. I've been fortunate

121
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 3: enough to go to Africa and fortunate enough to go

122
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 3: to South Africa and see these different places that you know,

123
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 3: from where from where Bob Marley was in Jamaica to

124
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 3: where uh to think of some of the houses that

125
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 3: we went to over there, so many different houses.

126
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: Even with that, and you're absolutely right what you're saying,

127
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 2: but just speaking from a person who has the financial means.

128
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 3: Right, But that's what I'm saying, Like instead of maybe

129
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 3: going to six Flags, going to the museum, and sometimes

130
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 3: there's museum that prices are not that expensive. They're ten

131
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 3: dollars for a ticket, and I'm sure a lot of

132
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 3: times they do it for free just to teach our

133
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 3: own but just experiences like that that we can actually see,

134
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 3: touch and get the proper knowlogy.

135
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 2: How about your how about do something as simple as

136
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 2: go get a library card. That's true, you know what

137
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 2: I'm saying, go get a library card and then go,

138
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: you know, look up some books to go get. I

139
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 2: always tell people all the time. Start with the autobiography

140
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 2: of Malcolm X. There's a great book that I read

141
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 2: when I was young, called from n Words to Gods,

142
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 2: Buy and Kill. And the way that he wrote the book,

143
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 2: he wrote the book the way we actually talk, you

144
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 2: know what I mean. So it was like he's cursing

145
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: it and he's using street banacular, right, but he's educating

146
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: at the same time, you know what I mean, Like

147
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 2: everything don't have to be eighteen letter Shakespearean words.

148
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: Right for you to learn.

149
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 3: Like I was able to go to Nelson Mandela's house.

150
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: I was able to go to where Nelson Mandela grew up.

151
00:05:58,480 --> 00:05:59,760
Speaker 3: So I was able to see it. But I had

152
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 3: to He used to do it, but before I had

153
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 3: the means, my mom had me and those museums. Let's

154
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 3: go to the phone lines. We got Jamisha on the line, Jamisha,

155
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 3: good morning, good morning, good morning.

156
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 6: Jamisha, Hey god, I want a first day that I

157
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 6: love you guys and I listen to you guys every morning.

158
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: Thank you very much, Jamisiha. We appreciate it.

159
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 6: Yes, so I just wanted to time in and just

160
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 6: give my advice. I ain't on thirty seven, just to

161
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 6: give you guys the idea of where I'm coming from.

162
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 6: I'm a mom of a threeting boy, and I tried

163
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 6: to just share stories with him because the literature out

164
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 6: there is not very fun for the kids to read

165
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 6: or interstite. So I feel like it starts at home.

166
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 6: We as the parents have to be encouraged to learn

167
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 6: it so that we could spend simply verbally share those

168
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,479
Speaker 6: stories with our kids, so that hopefully when they get older,

169
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 6: they'll read those stories or watch those movies that we

170
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 6: watched when we got older, or sometimes when we were

171
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 6: given younger and we didn't understand what was going on.

172
00:06:58,600 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: Totally agree.

173
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 6: I agree that it's I just feel like it starts there.

174
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: Totally agree. All right, thank you. I totally agree starts

175
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: in the house.

176
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 4: Hello, who's this Jerry? Hey, Jerry, good on and talk

Speaker 7: I wanted to say fun because I just want my

179
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 7: child's father some of them, but I think we have

180
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 7: to meet kids where they are. There's like so many

181
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 7: social media acts TikTok and stuff like that. I feel

182
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 7: like maybe artists in different acts or just different people

183
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 7: in the media in general should start maybe relaying Black

184
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 7: history facts that way where they are.

185
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 2: You're right, but you do realize on TikTok one of

186
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 2: the biggest uh things on TikTok, I don't know what

187
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 2: you call it.

188
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 1: It's book talk.

00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 2: Is it's a hashtash tag book talk, bok halshtag, book talk,

190
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 2: like like even when I'm putting out books, you know,

191
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 2: on my own or through my d like these these

192
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 2: these public these barns and Nobles and Time and his shoes,

193
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 2: they always talk about book talk. They want book talk

194
00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 2: to be talking about their books because it's so big.

195
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 2: So these kids are having these conversations.

196
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, and those are the conversations that I love. And

197
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 3: let's open up the phone lines again. Eight hundred five

198
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 3: eight five one oh five to one. What are some

199
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 3: suggestions to better educate future generations on black history? That

200
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 3: is the question. And I just want to say one thing.

201
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 3: It's like, sometimes you know, what's that? What's the saying?

202
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 3: Sometimes your your your skin folk and your kim folk skin.

203
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 3: And the reason I say that is because a lot

204
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,679
Speaker 3: of times I see people trying to educate and people

205
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 3: the first thing they say is, oh, it's a lie,

206
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 3: like and I remember when you started talking mental health, right,

207
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 3: and people.

208
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 4: Like, oh, he's just doing it for a check. He

209
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:39,079
Speaker 4: doesn't really care it is.

210
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 3: That and he ever, I got nothing from it. And

211
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:43,959
Speaker 3: this man has has gave up his is I don't

212
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 3: want to give up his life. But he's put his

213
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 3: life in books to explain and to see how he's felt,

214
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 3: and he's done so many things.

215
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 4: And the same thing with me and trying to teach

216
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 4: people about real estate.

217
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 3: It's like when we try to do these things, we

218
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 3: try to really put on for our community so that

219
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 3: we can learn to get the education that we didn't have.

220
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 3: And we're not saying that we know everything, but we

221

Speaker 3: Front Page News. Now, Florida Border Education approves new black

234
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 3: history standards that teach how slaves develop skills for their

235
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 3: personal benefit. So obviously they're trying to take our black

236
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 3: history out of the school system. And we're asking, you know,

237

Speaker 1: Well, I already told you.

239
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:54,480

240
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:55,960
Speaker 2: your kids, you know what I mean, Like, we have

241
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 2: to start encouraging our kids to read, and we have

242
00:09:58,200 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 2: to recommend books for them to read at home.

243
00:09:59,760 --> 00:09:59,920

264
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 8: because of the climate. I'm just tired and I would

265
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 8: face with the opportunity to come to school with my

266
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,880
Speaker 8: eleven or sixteen year old grand I've been doing this

267
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,560
Speaker 8: for a couple of years. We were registered through the

268
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 8: border beds in North Carolina. I'm from New York, but

269
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 8: my family is from South Carolina. I took it upon

270
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 8: myself to incorporate black history as a subject, and I

271
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 8: seached them and we've been We're in all the books

272

00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 5: We do that.

274
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:27,200
Speaker 8: We talk about history. We have there's a link black

275
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 8: facts dot com website which gives you so much pertinent

276
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 8: information black history. We talked about that. We're in the Quran,

277
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 8: we're in the Bible, your book shook one. We're just

278
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 8: all over the place. But I make sure that they

279
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 8: know the foundation. I also, because I've gone through something

280
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 8: some years ago. I send out inspirations every morning, six o'clock.

281
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 5: In the morning.

282
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 8: Used to be one or two people, is now one

283
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 8: hundred and fifty people. And I do it one by

284
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 8: one because I don't do But what I do is

285
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:02,839
Speaker 8: I am like them.

286
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:03,840
Speaker 5: On Black history.

287
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,440
Speaker 8: We're not just for February, but for every month. And

288
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 8: we talk about things, not but the normal things people

289
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 8: would talk about. Martin Luther Kings, not that we don't

290
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 8: talk about them, but we've gone into everything. We talk

291
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 8: about the masscreadd, we talk about the history. So I

292
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:23,959
Speaker 8: do that. Growing up in New York's history was something

293
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 8: that Black history we were a part of. There was

294
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 8: a lot of boos. There was a foundation's history, and

295
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 8: we were kind of taught that in the schools a

296
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 8: little bit, but the rest really lived. We grew up

297
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 8: in that era. It's different now. And it's true a

298
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 8: lot of black families children in history, A lot of

299
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 8: them don't have mind to teach their children. A lot

300
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 8: of them do depend on the schools. But you have

301
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 8: to be minding children of what's going on in the schools.

302
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 8: They were there in the school during the pandemic, how

303
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 8: they were handling that, and they're not being caught. But

304
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 8: they can't blame the things because a lot of them

305
00:12:57,880 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 8: don't know themselves.

306
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: You're right, queen, Thank you very much.

307
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 4: Thank you so much.

308
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: By the way, how old are you? How old are

309
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: you as a grandmother, I'm close to seventy.

310
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 8: I never thought I would be in this permission, would

311
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 8: be doing this, but I am brave that I love it.

312
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 1: We we love it.

313
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,960

364
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 2: you know, to teach your kids black history, you know

365
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,120

366
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 2: lot of self education at home, man. And I also

367
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,760

368
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 2: points in regards to black people. If we start having

369
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 2: conversations about black people self educating and encouraging each other

370
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,520
Speaker 2: to read, please, folks, let's not start saying black people

371
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 2: can't read and black parents don't teach their kids to read.

372
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: That's not that's nonsense, and that's not all the way accurate.

373

378
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,200

380
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:58,240
