I have had the most edumacated week ever!  My lessons included

  • What going green means and how to address it
  • This history of housing projects and how they came to be 
  • Why our global environment is as bad as it is today
  • How everyone is affected by capitalism which is contributing to the demise of our communities
  • An extensive lesson in Black history starting from the 1600s through the 1930s from Dr. Timuel Black (that was today).  By the way, Dr. Black is 90 years old.  He had a Master’s degree and could not get a job because he was Black.
  • How black communities that were created after The Reconstruction were destroyed by enemies who didn’t want them around but didn’t want them to have anything
  • The U.S. Federal Reserve Bank is privately owned
  • Mr. Hugo Black was a judge who joined the KKK to advance his career.  However, he was a liberal in Black and women issues

From everything I learned, I gathered that everything that happens in America is based on race and/or class.  If anyone know of anything differently, let me know so we can discuss.
