Slavery was taught as something that was, and is no more, not a cause for hatred and resentment, but celebration that it had been ended so long ago.
Education, along with hard work, was stressed for everyone, but especially the blacks in the class, as the key to success.
Speakers at the school even included the first black Air Force General and Cab Calloway.
My, how times have changed. Now everyone is a victim, and no one is responsible for their own progress in life.
None of the prominent Blacks we learned about would have become prominent if they had not applied themselves, because there was no affirmative action yet.
I wish more schools could have been like yours!! Cab Calloway? Wow.
