C
my motto for life
– merit, not sympathy, wins-
my song against death.
E♭
i stroke piano’s
eighty eight mouths. each one sings
hot colors of joy
F
pentatonic black
keys raise up high into bliss,
born to sing my name
F#
whippoorwill, hawk, crow
sing madrigals for blind men.
forests blooms through each note.
G
my eyes: buried deep
beneath earth’s skin. my vision
begins in her womb.
B♭
darkness sounds like God
flowering from earth’s molten tomb…
writhed wind. chorded cries.

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.
