About Black Star Line

African Centered Family Educational Collective

We officially came together in 2006 to create space to intentionally educate our children though an African-centered pedagogy and learned though our journey that we are a coalition of individuals who came to the Black Star Line with an organizing and social justice history. In the spirit of continuing this legacy—which we inherited from organizing efforts that came before us—we have expanded our collective to include families and communities of African descent who use public, private and alternative schools as well.  

Preserving, maintaining, connecting, and building communities of the African Diaspora. Empowering the community that embodies the culture. Teaching the history, creating programs for success, connecting community to opportunities, and building a vision for the future.
