“Hey Black Child” by Useni Eugene Perkins, is not only a beautiful poem for young black kids, but it also serves as a powerful mantra. Have the Child repeat after this poem in a big voice! Have them recite it in the mirror! Have them recite it while dancing.

What would schools look like? What would kids learn? Would there be homelessness? How would we help people, so they wouldn’t be homeless? What types of food would people eat? Part 2: “What are some things that you must learn right now to be a great king or queen of the world?
