In response to my question to Bill Holmes regarding a NC curriculum similar to those shared by Dorothy, the NCDCR has set aside $10,000 to hire a consultant who will develop a four-part curriculum on black education in NC. It will cover Rosenwald schools, HBCUs, trade institutes, and other elements in black education. The work will begin in January and is to be completed before the 2022-23 school year. The curriculum will be made available to us free of charge and to whoever else wants it. Angela Thorpe, with the African American Heritage Commission, will be managing the development and working with the consultant.
