I am quite disappointed that this will be the last time I blog for this class. I had never blogged prior to this class and now I have become quite fond of it. I have enjoyed reading all about African-American women and their literacies and discussing my opinions on them. My last blog will be on Voices of Our Foremothers by Sunny-Marie Birney.

I directly related to this article because I want to become a teacher. In this article Birney talked about educators I had not heard of, for example Ms. Emma Wilson. I did not know that she was the founder of Ms. Bethune’s elementary school and Ms. Bethune is someone who I consider to a be a foremother. After reading this essay I can add another to list. I also directly related to this article because like Birney I want to be able to teach young African-Americans about their history, I want them to be informed and be able to know that they come from greatness.
