Each student should have a copy of Heart & Soul by Kadir Nelson.
Due to the nature of slavery & oppression of Africans/ Black people, it is highly suggested that families view and discuss the chapter either in advance or following the class to address any concerns. This is one reason why all families are required to have a copy of the text as well. All content will be addressed sensitively and age appropriately.
