Education is Revolutionary. Our after-school program builds literacy through liberating instruction centered on Black American history.

Take a listen if you haven’t already❤️

When we invest in our children, they invest in themselves. To celebrate, we are once again selling these 🔥🔥🔥 sweatshirts from @shoplhp. A percentage of proceeds from each sale goes to fund the work of the school. Please join us in this freedom work. https://t.co/zptMokE7wC

Let’s take a moment to celebrate the good. This year we graduated another class from the Black Business Entrepreneurship Accelerator. The 1619 Freedom School finished its inaugural school year. We have not one, but two Black Women valedictorians in our city.
