On the Goree Island the Door of No Return memorialises the final exit point of the enslaved from Africa. 20,000,000 Africans departed through that door and 6,000,000 died on the Island. A crime against humanity was committed there by the Dutch, Portuguese, British and French.

My 6th grade students from Oneida MS, Schenectady NY used the Gholdy Muhammad “Who Are You” exercise. A great identity exercise. They already feel a sense of belonging

Mr Sangaré 21-22 school year Social Justice collage. My students already started asking me why does it say ‘Future’ everyone. Me: because you are the future. Every picture wants you to know that.

Teaching Identify sends a message to your students that you see them & their identities matter. “Identity was one of the first things to be stripped from enslaved Africans, thus it became key for people of color to know themselves so they could tell their own stories.” Gholdy Muhammad

Special THANK YOU to Christie Nold & SOAR for inspiring my OSAR ambassadors to petition our board to fly the BLM & Pride flags.

Next week, OSAR will be hosting a series of events celebrating Black History Month. Take a look below!!

Black History Month can't go by without honoring great African leaders from the 60's who put their lives and family's lives on the line and STOOD UP AGAINST colonizers' currencies, education, ideas, forms of government, cultures, languages... Thank you for inspiring us.

The OSAR ambassadors, leadership made history today by raising the Pride flag to show support to the LGBTQI+ community ⁦Schenectady Schools⁩. From one of our ambassador “I am in the LGBTQ community…I am the person I am supposed to be because of all of you.”

Happy birthday from Niger to my man. Let people take care of you today. It's your special day

From colonization to repatriation @OSAR_OneidaMS. 26 artifacts of Bénin's heritage looted by the French in 1892 finally came back home to Benin. Benin is still waiting for the remaining to come home.
