After the end of slavery, the education of blacks was a key concern to ex-slaves.  Due to segregation, young black children were not permitted to attend school with white children.  In many communities, separate schools were developed to educate them.  These school were considered second class and were provided few if any resources.  These schools were 1 or 2 room wooden buildings called "Colored Schools". Even though the title was considered degrading, within the walls of these schools was and unprecedented amount of love and determination. The students and families were steadfast on the power of education.

The Colored School is determined to provide an educational space for parents and students to learn as much as they can about the rich history of African Americans, and the African diaspora.  There is such an amazing history of African people before they were swept away to North and South America and after their arrival into enslavement.

This survey is to gain information on the need of enhancement and enrichment programs to help provide parents invaluable tools and skills to teach the incredible history of people from African descent.  The poll also seeks insights on the interest of parents and families seeking programs to teach that rich history to their children.

Please help The Colored School design its system and platform to meet the need by participating in this survey.  Please share it with friends and families.
