  • "I found myself frustrated with history curriculums because if they touched on African history, it was limited to a whitewashed interpretation of Egyptian empires. Mr. Gareth's curriculum is important because I want my children to learn of the impacts their ancestral culture has had on a wider scale. Learning about ancient African civilizations, their innovations, strengths, philosophies, and contributions has given my children a greater sense of self and their roots."
