When black children verbalize about things of interest to themselves and their peers and when this verbalization takes place in its natural setting it becomes obvious that the black child is as narratively and creatively gifted as his white counterpart. However, white middle-class conceit which sees the interests of black children as inferior and white middle-class-oriented schools which do not allow for the expression of black creativity conceives black verbal behavior as being inferior and as something to be extinguished. - Dr. Amos Wilson Click the link to join the OTSOG family and get a free copy of On the Shoulders of Giants Vol: 1 North America www.ontheshoulders1.com/#/ Click the link to join our email list lp.constantcontactpages.com/s...
