“Forty years ago, an Afrocentric school here in Little Rock introduced hundreds of young Black students and their families to a new way of approaching history and education. Students from preschool through sixth grade were instructed in the traditional subjects in a manner that centered the impact and achievements of African people across the globe. They were also exposed to the legacy of this country’s discrimination against those people and the guile and resilience deployed to resist and survive it.”
