Q: Any inspirational stories you’d like to share?
A: Well, not sure if this is inspirational or not, but I’d like to share a little bit about why and how this project came about. In 2006, my mother was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma. The girls were constantly sick, with colds and coughs so I couldn’t always bring them to visit her. I started a blog http://kristinandkayla.com as a way to keep my mom up to date with things that were going on in their lives, and hoping to cheer her up with pictures. I still try and keep it updated with photos, but it’s at a far less frequency than when I first started.aaaw <3

She told me, “Blacker, Jordan—c’mon, blacker. I thought you were black”…she read the poem like a slave, basically.

Jordan Shumate, of George C. Marshall High School, was reading the poem out loud as directed when his teacher, Marilyn Bart, stopped him and asked that he perform the piece in a “blacker” voice, and then demonstrated exactly what she was asking for… via: litreactor, h/t: stuffsmartppllike According to Shumate, when he asked if she thought that all black people spoke in such a manner, he was told to take a seat and reprimanded for speaking out of turn. Bart has reportedly singled Shumate out in the past, asking him to rap out a poem by Tupac Shakur, and, during a lesson on stereotypes, asking him why blacks like grape soda and rap music. I understand that teaching is difficult and that sometimes you want your students to connect/ feel the readings but this is too far. For the record, Langston Hughes sounds nothing like “a slave” and you can listen to his voice here. It’s a rich, smooth and powerful voice. (via thenoobyorker) |
