Expanding The Vision Of Future Generations
<p>The bell rings on the first day of school, and all the kids come clambering into their homeroom classes, gossiping about the summer’s events — the new friends they made, the vacations their families took, the amazing new places they got to explore, and the overnight camps they sang songs at. For many years, I listened, imagining the countries they visited and smiling as they shared camp stories.</p>
<p>From then on, I had the urge to go away to summer camp. My lovely mother found a Black-owned camp that I attended for two summers in a row before it shut down. I knew that my cousin and I were fortunate to be able to go away to a camp like that. Many African-American kids don’t have the chance to do what we were able to do. Those days remain some of my favorite childhood memories.</p>
