There seems to be a lot you haven’t told us, and you shut down and hold back on the bold ones who stand against the way you’re trying to mold us.
Here’s a short spoken word film about a student who is frustrated at the repetitive black history teaching in schools. He believes Black History Month isn’t taught with as much depth and as much pride in schools and relays his thought to his teacher. He questions why his school black history curriculum do not touch on influential people like Patricia E. Bath, King Musa I of Mali, Mary Prince, Sir Trevor McDonald, Ella Baker, Septimius Severus, Fuse ODG, Jamal Edwards, Garrett Morgan and Kwame Nkrumah.

The Single Story Foundation is a nonprofit organization which provides storytelling opportunities for Africans at home and in diaspora.
We seek to change the stereotype through visual art, literature, and performing art. At The Single Story Foundation, we believe that storytelling is one of the ways we can fix the damage caused by Western storytelling.
This is true. I enjoyed the information that is being presented to me and I wish the school system would actually teach us the real history of our culture and people.
