Ama Mazama is a professor of African American studies at Temple University, a homeschooling mom, and author of the recently published a book African Americans and Homeschooling: Motivations, Challenges, and Opportunities.
Today we will hear why she believes homeschooling is the best educational option for African American children. 
I asked Ama about her decision to educate her own children at home, and why she felt the local public schools were not a viable option for her family. 
We also talked about Ms Mazama's survey of African American homeschoolers, and about how schools perpetuate the oppressive status quo.
Finally, Ama offers words of encouragement to families considering this option.
