Our tobacco they plant, and our cotton they pick, and our rice they can harvest and thrash;
They feed us in health, and they nurse us when sick, and they earn-while we pocket our cash.
They lead us when young and they help us when old, and their toil loads our tables and shelves;
But they’re “niggers”; and therefore (the truth must be told) They cannot take care of themselves. . .

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.
