FIRE . . . flaming, burning, searing, and penetrating far beneath the superficial items of the flesh to boil
the sluggish blood.
FIRE . . . a cry of conquest in the night, warning those who sleep and revitalizing those who linger in the quiet places dozing.
FIRE . . . melting steel and iron bars, poking livid tongues between stone apertures and burning wooden
opposition with a cackling chuckle of contempt.
FIRE . . . weaving vivid, hot
designs upon an ebon bordered loom and satisfying pagan thirst for beauty
unadorned . . . the flesh is sweet and real . . . the soul an
inward flush of fire. . . . Beauty? . . . flesh on fire – on fire
in the furnace of life blazing. . . .
“Fy-ah,
Fy-ah, Lawd,
Fy-ah gonna burn ma soul!”

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.
