Determine two or more central ideas of a text and analyze their development over the course of the text, including how they interact and build on one another to provide a complex analysis; provide an objective summary of the text. Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text, including determining where the text leaves matters uncertain.

I am not only a homeschool mom of three but also an educator. I have been teaching for over 18 years. Most of my life what I had to learn about African or African American History had to come outside of the classroom. I completed AFAM 162: African American History: From Emancipation to the Present with Prof. Jonathan Holloway from Yale University and I would love to share my knowledge with you.
