If you've heard me speak or listened to any of my Youtube videos you know I am adamant about the fact that if you have Black children and/or work with them in any capacity, you must teach them our culture. My experience of working with Black children in four cities and three different states has shown me that our youth suffer from a lack of cultural self-esteem. We provide them with academic, athletic and religious knowledge but neglect to teach them to be proud of their culture. This has much to do with the deficiencies we see in our communities. We have the power to create the changes we wish to see but we must be proud and aware of who we are. We must have an understanding of how things came to be and how we can make them better. As adults, we must constantly check ourselves to make sure that we are not contributing to the deficiencies. Below is a list of adult and children's books, DVDs and youtube videos that can be used as a reference point to enhance one's knowledge of Black culture and to aid in teaching Black children. Feel free to share, suggest additions or add comments.
