That doesn't have to, like--
169
00:09:03,666 --> 00:09:06,291
You're saying, like, they can
just resource out to where--
170
00:09:06,375 --> 00:09:07,791
Yeah, in free trade.
In free trade,
171
00:09:07,875 --> 00:09:09,416
they're just gonna
resource it out.
172
00:09:09,500 --> 00:09:12,333
In fair trade-- Yeah, I agree.
And that's a problem.
173
00:09:12,416 --> 00:09:13,416
[indistinct]
174
00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:14,666
If you ask me that question,
175
00:09:14,750 --> 00:09:16,333
I don't know how to solve it.

♪ Said I'm beautiful ♪
177
00:09:20,666 --> 00:09:22,375
[teacher 3] But you see
how when we backtracked,
178
00:09:22,458 --> 00:09:24,875
it all pieced together, right?
179
00:09:24,958 --> 00:09:27,958
So, it's coming together,
making a little bit more sense.
180
00:09:30,500 --> 00:09:34,458
[cafeteria chatter]
181
00:09:38,333 --> 00:09:40,583
- Hey, Miss Dur.
- Yeah, darling?
182
00:09:40,666 --> 00:09:42,458
What did you need?
183
00:09:42,541 --> 00:09:44,083
[Taimya] Hey, Miss Dur.
I miss you so much.
184
00:09:44,166 --> 00:09:46,541
I didn't say nothing.
I said, "Hey, Miss Dur." Oh!
185
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,791
[student] Miss Dur,
can you save me some cornbread?
186
00:09:50,875 --> 00:09:52,166
- [student] Please.
- [Miss Dur] Already?
187
00:09:52,250 --> 00:09:54,458
- [student] Yes, already!
- Ha. Already.

{\an8}- I'm gonna sit right there.
- What's good, man?
191
00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:06,875
{\an8}- What class you just came from?
- I just got from chemistry.
192
00:10:06,958 --> 00:10:10,208
[Taimya] So, who y'all teacher
for that block, Dr. Bowen?
193
00:10:10,291 --> 00:10:13,291
- Miss K ours.
- Oh, y'all got lucky.
194
00:10:13,375 --> 00:10:16,916
- [Taimya] How is that? What?
- Every time, y'all get lucky.
195
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:18,458
- English teacher.
- [Savannah Haywood] Don't say that.
196
00:10:18,541 --> 00:10:20,500
- No, I don't care. English teacher.
- [laughter]
197
00:10:20,583 --> 00:10:22,458
Y'all get lucky. Y'all barely even have
to do the work.
198
00:10:22,541 --> 00:10:25,083
[Taimya] That's not true.
We have good discussions in class.
199
00:10:25,166 --> 00:10:26,750
[Curdell Spann]
Yeah, I was talking to Jeremy,
200
00:10:26,833 --> 00:10:31,166
and he was just telling me
how he wants us to get more...
201
00:10:31,250 --> 00:10:33,500
more knowledgeable about how to
202
00:10:33,583 --> 00:10:35,625
use the toolsand stuff in the farm.
203
00:10:35,708 --> 00:10:38,083
So, we need to likebe able to--
204
00:10:38,166 --> 00:10:40,083
[Khareym] Yeah,when I used to be here--
205
00:10:40,166 --> 00:10:42,416
when I used to,I'm still here-- but,
206
00:10:42,500 --> 00:10:46,333
you know, my earlier years,
we used to do a lot of stuff on the farm.
207
00:10:46,416 --> 00:10:48,791
We used to havehorseback riding.
208
00:10:48,875 --> 00:10:51,500
We used to kind of do
a lot with the greenhouse.
209
00:10:51,583 --> 00:10:53,333
I think Mr. Jeremy doing
a good job though.
210
00:10:53,416 --> 00:10:54,625
Yeah. Jeremy doing good, yeah.
211
00:10:56,250 --> 00:10:57,500
{\an8}- What up, AB?
- What's up, AB?
212
00:10:57,583 --> 00:10:59,583
{\an8}Is that strawberry in the salad?
213
00:10:59,666 --> 00:11:02,666
{\an8}That's different.
That's different. [laughs]
214
00:11:02,750 --> 00:11:06,625
In class, we talked about
like how Malcolm thought--
215
00:11:06,708 --> 00:11:08,291
Like when he was
looking back on his life,
216
00:11:08,375 --> 00:11:10,166
he was thinking like,
why did I wear--
217
00:11:10,250 --> 00:11:13,583
You know, in the book,
when he was wearing his hair in a conk,
218
00:11:13,666 --> 00:11:16,333
he was trying to bein proximity to whiteness.
219
00:11:16,416 --> 00:11:18,333
And he was looking back,and he felt ashamed
220
00:11:18,416 --> 00:11:21,500
that he had to do thatto himself to, like, fit in.
221
00:11:21,583 --> 00:11:25,541
I feel like, at one point,
everybody has like done something
222
00:11:25,625 --> 00:11:28,708
to try to fit in or try to be...
223
00:11:29,625 --> 00:11:32,291
or try to abide
to the social norm,
224
00:11:32,375 --> 00:11:35,458
when, I mean,
that's not really necessary.
225
00:11:35,541 --> 00:11:37,583
[Taimya] I'm not even talking
about social norms though.
226
00:11:37,666 --> 00:11:39,875
I'm talking about
white people. Like--
227
00:11:39,958 --> 00:11:42,958
- [Caesar] Okay, like, even trying to--
- You never?
228
00:11:43,041 --> 00:11:45,166
{\an8}- I have.
- Trying to be more white?
229
00:11:45,250 --> 00:11:47,916
{\an8}'Cause I never been in like
a majority white community.
230
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,708
{\an8}Like, I never been at an all-white school
or nothing like that.
231
00:11:51,791 --> 00:11:53,416
Like, sometimes I'd be like...
232
00:11:54,333 --> 00:11:58,833
Well, I guess. Sometimes, like,
I used to wish my hair was longer
233
00:11:58,916 --> 00:12:00,958
or like somethin' like that.
234
00:12:01,041 --> 00:12:03,875
But, I don't know if that wasan insecurity within myself.
235
00:12:03,958 --> 00:12:06,041
But, I used to be like,"My hair not long enough,
236
00:12:06,125 --> 00:12:08,458
my hair too curly,"
so I guess I have.
237
00:12:08,541 --> 00:12:10,166
Because I don't really
wanna stay in the South
238
00:12:10,250 --> 00:12:12,416
when I get older, so...
239
00:12:12,500 --> 00:12:14,333
- Why not?
- I don't know. I'm tired of it,
240
00:12:14,416 --> 00:12:16,125
- to be honest with you.
- The South. Really?
241
00:12:16,208 --> 00:12:18,458
- Yeah.
- Why?
242
00:12:18,541 --> 00:12:21,041
The political side of it,
I'm tired of it.
243
00:12:21,666 --> 00:12:25,500
It's, it's, it's different
being here in the South,
244
00:12:25,583 --> 00:12:29,000
but it feels home sometimes.
It's 50/50 with me.
245
00:12:29,083 --> 00:12:32,666
I don't know, I feel like I have
a perspective of where I'm just,
246
00:12:32,750 --> 00:12:34,333
you know, I'm dark-skinned.
247
00:12:34,416 --> 00:12:37,916
- I'm like the typical stereotype.
- [Curdell] Right, right.
248
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,708
So, I just get tired of
like, you know, the typical...
249
00:12:42,500 --> 00:12:45,666
I'm looked at as like
maybe a thug or a criminal.
250
00:12:45,750 --> 00:12:47,000
Like I can't get
my ears pierced.
251
00:12:47,083 --> 00:12:48,375
My mom won't let me
get my ears pierced
252
00:12:48,458 --> 00:12:51,375
because she told me
she doesn't really want me
253
00:12:51,500 --> 00:12:53,416
to kind of fit that stereotype
254
00:12:53,500 --> 00:12:56,333
of ears pierced, pants sagging.
255
00:12:56,416 --> 00:12:58,041
So, it's a lot of stuff
I can't do
256
00:12:58,125 --> 00:13:00,916
because of what others
would think, which is sad,
257
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,166
but that's just how
it is though.
258
00:13:03,250 --> 00:13:05,250
I mean, you know,
I kind of fit the description...
259
00:13:06,625 --> 00:13:08,958
physically of, you know,
the stereotypes.
260
00:13:09,041 --> 00:13:12,750
AB, how's it for you, though?
Being pure African.
261
00:13:12,833 --> 00:13:15,750
I mean, I haven't
actually seen the South.
262
00:13:15,833 --> 00:13:17,750
I haven't actually seen America.
263
00:13:17,833 --> 00:13:19,416
But, Piney Wood,
264
00:13:19,500 --> 00:13:21,791
I think it adopted
some styles and culture,
265
00:13:21,875 --> 00:13:23,500
and I actually enjoyed.
266
00:13:23,583 --> 00:13:24,666
First, when I came here,
I was scared
267
00:13:24,750 --> 00:13:26,291
'cause, you know, Mississippi.
268
00:13:26,375 --> 00:13:27,416
It's Mississippi.
269
00:13:27,500 --> 00:13:28,875
My uncle's from
270
00:13:28,958 --> 00:13:30,541
North Carolina, DC.
271
00:13:30,625 --> 00:13:33,666
They told me like,"Do not talk to anybody."
272
00:13:33,750 --> 00:13:35,625
- [Khareym laughs]
- The Black people are thugs,
273
00:13:35,708 --> 00:13:38,166
- the white people wanna kill you, so...
- [laughs] What?
274
00:13:38,250 --> 00:13:40,000
But they dismantled
the stereotypes,
275
00:13:40,083 --> 00:13:41,625
so I think the
most important thing
276
00:13:41,708 --> 00:13:43,375
is dismantling stereotypes.
277
00:13:43,458 --> 00:13:44,958
[Taimya] It happens amongst
Black people, too.
278
00:13:45,041 --> 00:13:48,750
Like, it's not just white people
who push norms onto you.
279
00:13:48,833 --> 00:13:50,833
It's Black people
because when I came here,
280
00:13:50,916 --> 00:13:52,541
and all I listened to
was Harry Styles,
281
00:13:52,625 --> 00:13:54,333
y'all wanted to say
I didn't listen to Black music.
282
00:13:54,416 --> 00:13:55,708
[Caesar] I thought
it was funny that
283
00:13:55,791 --> 00:13:56,958
you listened to
Harry Styles the most,
284
00:13:57,041 --> 00:13:58,541
but I never thought that
285
00:13:58,625 --> 00:14:00,500
you never listened
to Black music.
286
00:14:00,583 --> 00:14:02,833
I wouldn't say it was
the white music.
287
00:14:02,916 --> 00:14:04,541
I think it was
just Harry Styles.
288
00:14:04,625 --> 00:14:07,875
Yeah, it was just Harry Styles
in general.
289
00:14:07,958 --> 00:14:10,583
[Khareym] I sometimes dawn
on AB's situation
290
00:14:10,666 --> 00:14:12,875
because he's, he's African.
291
00:14:12,958 --> 00:14:14,500
He's not Black. He's African.
292
00:14:14,625 --> 00:14:16,666
Being in America,
if you were to stay here,
293
00:14:16,750 --> 00:14:20,000
people would categorize you as Black,
which is not true, so.
294
00:14:20,083 --> 00:14:22,000
- [AB] It is.
- No, it's not.
295
00:14:22,791 --> 00:14:24,291
I've heard you talk white,
296
00:14:24,375 --> 00:14:28,041
but it's only because
I was talking, like, politically
297
00:14:28,125 --> 00:14:31,250
instead of, like,
with broken English.
298
00:14:31,333 --> 00:14:33,125
And it's offensive
because it's like...
299
00:14:34,083 --> 00:14:35,791
a Black girl can't
talk like that
300
00:14:35,875 --> 00:14:38,333
without being perceived as white,
or like white is right--
301
00:14:38,416 --> 00:14:39,833
Or if people take
advantage of you.
302
00:14:39,916 --> 00:14:42,083
People who talk
politically are white.
303
00:14:42,166 --> 00:14:45,958
- It don't make sense.
- [Keith] You're perceived as smarter.
304
00:14:46,041 --> 00:14:49,583
Yeah. It's a difference in how
I'ma talk to Cesar,
305
00:14:49,666 --> 00:14:53,458
Savannah, Amari, and Keith,
and how I'ma talk to...
306
00:14:53,541 --> 00:14:56,208
But is that code switching
or just being professional?
307
00:14:56,291 --> 00:14:59,833
In how I talk to Miss Crossley,
or how I would talk to...
308
00:14:59,916 --> 00:15:02,541
Like you just said,
you wouldn't talk to your friend
309
00:15:02,625 --> 00:15:04,333
- how you talk to your boss.
- [Taimya] Right.
310
00:15:04,416 --> 00:15:05,958
Like, and that's just like--
that's-that's being--
311
00:15:06,041 --> 00:15:07,541
that's having
a professional life.
312
00:15:07,625 --> 00:15:09,666
[Taimya] But I feel
like Black people do it more.
313
00:15:09,750 --> 00:15:12,000
You code switch with your friends
and with your boss,
314
00:15:12,083 --> 00:15:14,625
but we have to code switch
with different groups,
315
00:15:14,708 --> 00:15:17,958
with different, like,
races, everything,
316
00:15:18,041 --> 00:15:21,791
to seem more receivable
or acceptable.
317
00:15:21,875 --> 00:15:23,750
Like if I'm talking to
a group of white people,
318
00:15:23,833 --> 00:15:27,750
I may change my tone into a softer,
like, you know...
319
00:15:27,833 --> 00:15:28,875
You know what I'm saying?
320
00:15:28,958 --> 00:15:30,541
Like just so they can understand
321
00:15:30,625 --> 00:15:32,791
or like be able to hear me.
322
00:15:32,875 --> 00:15:34,333
But you're African,
like, you're not--
323
00:15:34,416 --> 00:15:36,541
You weren't born here,
so being in America,
324
00:15:36,625 --> 00:15:37,916
they would categorize
you as Black,
325
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:39,375
then they'll start treating
you like you're Black.
326
00:15:39,458 --> 00:15:41,750
Then, you'll kind of
fall in like the-
327
00:15:41,833 --> 00:15:44,750
- [Curdell] The stereotype, the category.
- Yeah, the stereotypes.
328
00:15:44,833 --> 00:15:46,458
You just following
the pictures of
329
00:15:46,541 --> 00:15:48,041
what Black people are
made to be.
330
00:15:48,125 --> 00:15:52,666
So, I feel like it's hard

00:23:44,333 --> 00:23:46,083
It's so new!
500
00:23:46,166 --> 00:23:48,250
Everything is just so
new and improved!
501
00:23:48,333 --> 00:23:51,791
None of that was paid for
because parents are paying tuition.
502
00:23:51,875 --> 00:23:55,333
- [teacher 1] Yeah.
- That all came through donating.
503
00:23:56,666 --> 00:24:00,041
Without, without that,
we wouldn't be able to do this work.
504
00:24:01,125 --> 00:24:02,750
- So...
- [teacher 1] You know,
505
00:24:02,833 --> 00:24:06,750
I think when you look at
the percentage of grants
506
00:24:06,833 --> 00:24:10,333
that we would secure years ago,
507
00:24:10,416 --> 00:24:14,000
it would only take up
maybe 5% of the budget.
508
00:24:14,083 --> 00:24:17,083
But now, I think we're
probably contributing,
509
00:24:17,166 --> 00:24:20,375
like, 25% of the
operating budget,
510
00:24:20,458 --> 00:24:24,416
and it reaches across
all facets of the campus,
511
00:24:24,500 --> 00:24:26,416
from academics with the students
512
00:24:26,500 --> 00:24:29,333
and scholarship
in the classroom,
513
00:24:29,416 --> 00:24:31,333
like the Social Justice Grant,
514
00:24:31,416 --> 00:24:34,458
and allowing the kids
to go on field trips
515
00:24:34,541 --> 00:24:37,666
{\an8}that we probably wouldnot be able to pay for.
516
00:24:37,750 --> 00:24:39,625
{\an8}Then we look at summer camp.
517
00:24:39,750 --> 00:24:42,583
We look at the operationsof the school,
518
00:24:42,666 --> 00:24:45,958
how we're able to renovatebuildings. The farm.
519
00:24:46,041 --> 00:24:50,375
So, when Dr. Jonescreated this, you know,
520
00:24:50,458 --> 00:24:54,625
the students were buildingliterally each building by hand,
521
00:24:54,708 --> 00:24:58,416
and all of that was aroundself-sustainability.
522
00:24:58,500 --> 00:25:02,791
The farm was what was sustaining themfrom a health point.
523
00:25:02,875 --> 00:25:05,750
Hopefully, we'll get to a full,what I call,
524
00:25:05,833 --> 00:25:10,833
a classroom-to-field-to-table,
525
00:25:10,916 --> 00:25:14,333
which will be ourdining service, to market.
526
00:25:14,416 --> 00:25:16,541
[teacher 2] There are
so many careers in agriculture
527
00:25:16,625 --> 00:25:19,291
for Black students,
528
00:25:19,375 --> 00:25:22,375
so we wanna get theminterested in those careers
529
00:25:22,458 --> 00:25:24,541
starting in theninth grade here.
530
00:25:24,625 --> 00:25:26,750
So, we're workingout the schedule
531
00:25:26,833 --> 00:25:30,416
so they can spend more time on the farm,for those who are interested.
532
00:25:30,500 --> 00:25:33,333
Not every child is gonnawanna work on the farm.
533
00:25:33,416 --> 00:25:37,291
So, we're trying to hone in on thosewho really have a interest,
534
00:25:37,375 --> 00:25:39,708
and working into theirwork program
535
00:25:39,791 --> 00:25:41,833
that they can spend that timeworking on the farm.
536
00:25:41,916 --> 00:25:43,625
When this grant is over,
537
00:25:43,708 --> 00:25:46,666
we'll be able to sustainthe farmer's market every year,
538
00:25:46,750 --> 00:25:50,500
our sales from what weproduce and sell on the farm.
539
00:25:50,583 --> 00:25:52,875
And also the cafeteria
540
00:25:52,958 --> 00:25:54,458
'cause I know it willhelp the budget
541
00:25:54,541 --> 00:25:58,208
if we can produce a lotof vegetables and things.
542
00:25:58,291 --> 00:26:00,583
We have differentbreeds of cattle.
543
00:26:00,666 --> 00:26:03,708
We have eight brand-new calves.
544
00:26:03,791 --> 00:26:07,166
We're looking atdown the road to get hogs,
545
00:26:07,250 --> 00:26:10,791
so we can really be able tosustain ourselves 100% like they used to.
546
00:26:11,875 --> 00:26:16,166
[William] Um, I'm confident,I'm confident that
547
00:26:16,791 --> 00:26:18,333
um...
548
00:26:18,416 --> 00:26:20,916
our donor community will respond
549
00:26:22,166 --> 00:26:26,125
to the opportunities that we're creating
for young people.
550
00:26:26,208 --> 00:26:27,250
Right?
551
00:26:27,541 --> 00:26:30,666
Coming out of the last
board meeting that we had
552
00:26:32,291 --> 00:26:35,166
and the question came
from the board
553
00:26:35,250 --> 00:26:38,416
around where should
our priorities be.
554
00:26:38,500 --> 00:26:41,750
And we, we, we decided
555
00:26:41,833 --> 00:26:45,125
that we couldn't,
we couldn't decide between...
556
00:26:45,208 --> 00:26:48,166
scholarship and facilities.
557
00:26:48,833 --> 00:26:52,083
{\an8}Right, we couldn't decidebetween investing in the place
558
00:26:52,166 --> 00:26:54,458
or investing in the people
559
00:26:54,541 --> 00:26:56,666
because we have to do both.

but also as an alum,
566
00:27:16,375 --> 00:27:19,666

in the life of Piney Woods.

You know, at thatpoint in my life,
581
00:28:09,708 --> 00:28:12,083
I was missing peoplewho saw me,

583
00:28:14,458 --> 00:28:16,750

as a young person coming here.
585
00:28:20,416 --> 00:28:23,250

And even just thinkingabout what my life would be

00:28:37,041 --> 00:28:40,708
as a teenager in Chicago,the options were...

00:28:42,041 --> 00:28:45,041
bad or at best compromising,
592
00:28:46,166 --> 00:28:47,541
and it was difficult.
593
00:28:47,625 --> 00:28:48,958
I think between...
594
00:28:50,041 --> 00:28:52,750

595
00:28:53,791 --> 00:28:56,833
probably changed schooleight times.
596
00:28:56,916 --> 00:28:59,875
You know, I would go to a new schoolin the middle of the year,
597
00:28:59,958 --> 00:29:02,916
and you don't know anybody,

It was terrifying.
600
00:29:08,583 --> 00:29:12,458
And I think I got inthe habit of expecting
601
00:29:12,541 --> 00:29:14,791
that I wouldn'tsee these people.
602
00:29:14,875 --> 00:29:20,083

and how much he supports
you and stuff.
865
00:42:27,625 --> 00:42:29,750
[Takira] At the beginning
of the school year, I was in denial,
866
00:42:29,833 --> 00:42:32,333
like, he not really leaving.
He gonna stay back a year for me.
867
00:42:32,416 --> 00:42:33,541
[Taimya] He gonna
be a post-grad.
868

[Takira] Yeah,
he gonna be a post-grad.

I'm gonna be about my business.

I feel like it would help me, too,
because I can be more focused.

00:42:44,416 --> 00:42:47,208
I mean, he supports mein a lot of ways,
875
00:42:47,291 --> 00:42:50,000
but I feel like I can learnto support myself.
876
00:42:50,083 --> 00:42:51,333
Like I can uphold myself.

00:42:51,416 --> 00:42:54,458

That's it. That's it.

What work is this?
938
00:46:09,708 --> 00:46:11,875
[Cristina]
Yes. Put one of the peels.
939
00:46:11,958 --> 00:46:13,875
So, what else do we have here?
940
00:46:13,958 --> 00:46:15,708
What are we testing for?
941
00:46:15,791 --> 00:46:18,958
- Okay. pH...
- [Cristina] Mm-hmm.
942
00:46:19,041 --> 00:46:22,041
- ...potassium, and nitrogen.
- [Cristina] Mm-hmm.
943
00:46:22,125 --> 00:46:26,000
Right, okay. So put the peel of
each because it goes by color.

We gonna shake it.

00:46:29,333 --> 00:46:31,583

When the color, when the,after the peel is dissolved,
947
00:46:35,291 --> 00:46:38,000
you compare the color
to the color from...

[Maurice]
pH.
949
00:46:41,708 --> 00:46:44,333
[Cristina] It's funny
that we are doing this,
950
00:46:44,416 --> 00:46:46,166
and you are telling
me at the beginning
951
00:46:46,250 --> 00:46:49,208
that you wanna be
anesthesiologist or--
952
00:46:49,291 --> 00:46:50,916
No, a brain surgeon.

00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,916

954
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,166

956

Before coming here,
I did not like science.

958
00:47:04,250 --> 00:47:06,625
[Cristina] And I taught you so well
that you--
959
00:47:06,708 --> 00:47:09,666
[Maurice] As soon as I got in your class,
I was like, yep,
960

I'ma be a scientist.
961

coming to chemistry class.

People don't like that.
But, we did a lot of experiments.
963

And we did a lot of lights,
a lot of noises,
964

Okay, compare it to the

I'm doing this is because...

um, "No student feels likethey're above another because of it,"
1502
01:14:52,708 --> 01:14:55,875

stifles our individuality.

And, you know, we don't get
to fully express ourselves

we have to set aside our
differences or whatever,

it's the first year that
we have had town hall meetings.

being listened to now.

struggling with it.

But, you are more aware
that what you need to do.
1555
01:17:39,041 --> 01:17:41,583
- Yeah, yeah.
- That's what I feel, that you're more--

- I think you're more aware,

and you catch yourself
if you're not patient.
1558
01:17:46,583 --> 01:17:48,416
You just say,
"Okay, I need to calm down.
1559
01:17:48,500 --> 01:17:50,375
I need to be patient."
1560
01:17:50,458 --> 01:17:54,125
I think the main thing that
you allowed yourself to grow
1561
01:17:55,458 --> 01:17:58,625
and you allowed yourself
to be vulnerable.
1562
01:17:58,708 --> 01:18:02,083
At the beginning,you did not like people to know
1563
01:18:02,166 --> 01:18:04,291
- that you might not know the answer.
- Mm-hmm.
1564

- It's right?
- Mm-hmm.
1565

But now, you don't mind say,
1566
01:18:07,541 --> 01:18:09,625
"Okay, hold on, hold
on. I don't get it.
1567
01:18:09,708 --> 01:18:11,875

is that this way."

1829
01:32:14,208 --> 01:32:16,666
I can't figure it out
at Piney Woods,
1830
01:32:16,750 --> 01:32:19,958
and it's mainly because
of the resources.
1831
01:32:20,041 --> 01:32:23,166
Like-- [sighs] Piney Woods
doesn't have a lot of resources.
1832
01:32:23,250 --> 01:32:27,000
And I will say this over and over again,
it's not their fault.
1833
01:32:27,083 --> 01:32:30,250
But, at the same time,
if the opportunity is presented for me
1834
01:32:30,333 --> 01:32:33,166
to go somewhere else
where it know it could benefit me more,
1835
01:32:33,250 --> 01:32:36,750
why would I stay in a place
where I'm just comfortable being in
1836
01:32:36,833 --> 01:32:38,791
but it doesn't give me
anything out of it?
1837
01:32:38,875 --> 01:32:41,333
I've had a lot of opportunities
being at Piney Woods.
1838
01:32:41,416 --> 01:32:44,625
I have been to places I ain't
never really been before.
1839
01:32:44,708 --> 01:32:46,208
But like...
1840
01:32:47,291 --> 01:32:50,625
everything is not just--
everything's not here.
1841
01:32:50,708 --> 01:32:52,833
And like...
1842
01:32:52,916 --> 01:32:55,416
'Cause people don't give back
to Black communities,
1843
01:32:55,500 --> 01:32:57,541
especially Black schools.
1844
01:32:57,625 --> 01:33:00,541
Like, if Piney Woods
weren't all Black,
1845
01:33:00,625 --> 01:33:02,458
this campus would be
operating better.
1846

1847

really just how people
1848
01:33:07,791 --> 01:33:11,416
really don't really care for
African Americans like that.

my past years. It be like,
