Imhotep! Welcome to B.L.A.C.K.

B.L.A.C.K. is an Afrocentric homeschooling community dedicated to increasing black awareness, cultural expression, and self pride in the homeschooling community. We offer classes in African American history, art, and literature for homeschoolers in the Washington, D.C. area based on the African Centered Educational model. We facilitate hands-on training by nationally recognized education specialists and disseminate information via the B.L.A.C.K. blog on how to infuse African culture and history in the traditional American education. Our mission is to increase awareness of the African Centered Educational model and to share the positive results we are witnessing in B.L.A.C.K. students who are reconnecting with the truth, beauty, and grace of the African heritage and culture.

Culture at Home is an African-American homeschool support group in the Washington D.C., Maryland and Virginia area, which is partnering with the Black Literary Awareness for Cultural Knowledge (B.L.A.C.K.) homeschooling network to combine efforts in providing educational outreach support programs and supplemental homeschooling classes to African American homeschooling families in the area.  Pier Penic, who, in the words of Black author, Virginia Hamilton, is a modern day African American leader who can fly", is founder and director of Culture at Home.  Culture at Home offers an array of dynamic homeschooling classes throughout the Metro area including, "Rising Words, Rising Images", a monthly teen book discussion group; World Literature for High Schoolers; Culture at Home Research Project; and two Advanced Creative Writing Courses on Shakespearean Literature and Comparative African Literature and Culture, which meet at the Folger Shakespeare Library and the Smithsonian Museum, respectively.  A monthly children's internet book club for ages 6-18 is also offered, in addition to creative writing workshops, college fairs, seminars and tutorial information through out the year.
