At night while whitey sleeps
the heart of a thousand
African fires burns across my chest
I hear the beat of a war drum
dancing from a distant land
dancing across a mighty water telling me to strike
Enchanted by this wild call
I hurl a brick through
a store front window and disappear…

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.
