Last year there was big talks about opening up a Africentric Alternative School for black students due to the stats showing that the most drop outs come from students of African descent...African including carribean....I wasn't that into the idea, considering the fact that it seems as though they maybe trying to create more segregation.....I also thought it was going to be led by a bunch of white exces who do not know anything about what a African child needs in order to have a good education and knowledge of self.......BUT
upon looking at a brief open house...and reading up on it...seeing pictutures etc. I am convinced that it maybe a good idea......I mean this is what we needed from along time ago...our children have been fed the "White Ideal" for so long....we all have.....so why not have a school where red, green and gold are the school colours......and images of people who look like you are displayed on the walls....and history is actually your own history! I am really excited and I plan on visiting this school sometime in the near future!
My hope now is that it is as successful as it looks...and that this will not be the only school like this that opens in the Greater Toronto Area......and around the world.....May the Most High manifest it's beautiful energy and create more wonderful educational institutions as this one!
Below are images and a video from the Open House!
Give Thanks To Stolen From Africa for the hook up on the pics/video!
Blessings!
