1. A black woman speaks of white womanhood. What gives her the right?
–slavery, lynching, etc have to do with white women.
2. Would like to speak of it as it will and should be.
What is that? When white womanhood stands for full equality.
–but it is not there yet.
Why? Still a superiority thing and a need to separate for their own validation.
–this is taught to them by white supremacists.
3. White womanhood, slavery too; only to a different degree.
You were “willing slaves”
Both sold in different ways, and you did not fight.
4. She is fighting for unity just as she fought for freedom.
We are women together.
5. White supremacy poisoned —
“White skin is supreme” and you didn’t protest
as even in your pink slavery somehow thought “my wasted blood confirmed your superiority.”
6. Both bore him sons—in different, yet similar ways.
What happened to sons she bore? – sold!
Your reaction—you felt avenged, taking his infidelity out on you as if you were the enemy.
7. You hated slavery, but abhorred equality.
8. But together we can be free and achieve justice, peace and human equality with plenty for all…..

The purpose of our classroom service is to diversely strengthen the curriculum and needed pedagogy of licensed and pre-service teachers. This builds a foundation of superior education through understanding culturally responsive curriculums direct benefit from the content of African American Registry.
Street Team programs represent a crucial part of our goal of ‘Curriculum Reform and Giving Youth a Guided Voice’. We also require College students and/or community members to learn how to implement and carry on our program. That way we instill buy-in for each community to invest in themselves. If you would like more information or to create a Street Team in your community contact the Registry at 612-822-6831 or email us at info@aaregistry.org.
