The Dreamkeepers "Education, like electricity, needs a conduit, a teacher, through which to transmit its power- i.e., the discovery and continuity of information, knowledge, wisdom, experience, and culture. Through the stories and experiences of eight successful teacher-transmitters, The DreamKeepers keeps hope alive for educating young African Americans."

Question
2.) "Think Postive!" That's how I've changed the most. Every culture is different, and what they do is unique to their culture... at the same time diveristy is something that should be cherished. I was recently talking to a teacher from school #50... and she was telling me that at school they don't really celebrate christmas anymore!!!!!!!!!!! There are people that don't celebrate it, so in respect for them they try not to focus on it to much. There are people that don't celebrate halloween either, but most schools celebrate it. Christmas is part of the American culture. WE don't need to teach about church or Jesus but I don't think we should get rid of it. Based upon the readings we church incorporate a little bit of everything. Other groups celebrate other things during this time, so we should help our children in becoming aware of these differences by teaching them, so they won't be so niave to the differences.
