In these times where many are contemplating what history should be taught, I thought it was a great time to learn real history from the person I'm the closest to....my mom. In this episode, Mary gives us a glimpse into her past of growing up in the segregated South in the land of Jim Crow. She shares what it was like attending segregated schools and growing up as a sharecroppers' daughter.
I want this episode to encourage you to talk to your parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and other elders in your family, no matter your race, creed, religion, etc... There are historic gems that only they can share....their experience is unique to them. Connecting with loved ones is one way to understand your history. Once you understand & know your history, no one can take that away from you---it's forever etched in your brain as much as it is in your DNA.
