1. HEY, KELLOGG, HOW WAS YOUR WEEKEND?

2. COMPLETE DISASTER, CARLTON.

3. I TOOK THIS GIRL

4. TO SEE NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK, RIGHT?

5. AND ALL NIGHT SHE'S SAYING TO ME,

6. "DONNIE'S SO CUTE, DONNIE'S SO SWEET.

7. DONNIE'S SO HUNKY."

8. I MEAN, WHAT DOES DONNIE HAVE

9. THAT I DON'T HAVE?

10. MY GUESS IS, YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT STUFF.

11. ALL RIGHT, MEN.

12. IT'S HISTORY TIME.

13. SMITH, YOU'RE LATE.

14. SORRY ABOUT THAT, COACH, BUT, UH...

15. I JUST THOUGHT I'D RUN A FEW LAPS BEFORE CLASS.

16. YOU KNOW... WHOO... HELP OUT THE OLD BASKETBALL TEAM.

17. GOOD IDEA, SMITH.

18. GOOD WAY TO STAY AHEAD OF THE COMPETITION.

19. MIGHT NOT BE A BAD IDEA

20. FOR ALL YOU MEN WHO ARE ON THE TEAM

21. TO START THE DAY WITH A FEW LAPS.

22. WE RUN ENOUGH LAPS

23. AT BASKETBALL PRACTICE, COACH SMILEY.

24. OK, HUNT, WE'RE NOT IN THE GYM.

25. THEREFORE, YOU ARE TO REFER TO ME

26. BY MY OFFICIAL TEACHING NAME...

27. PROFESSOR SMILEY.

28. AND FOR THAT SLIP OF THE TONGUE... 20 LAPS.

29. ALL RIGHT, MEN. NOW, BEFORE WE START

30. THE NEXT CHAPTER IN OUR HISTORY BOOKS,

31. I'M GOING TO GIVE BACK THE POP QUIZ FROM FRIDAY.

32. I WANT YOU ALL TO TAKE THESE HOME

33. AND BRING THEM BACK SIGNED BY YOUR PARENTS.

34. WELL, I THINK I ACED THIS ONE.

35. HOW ABOUT YOU, WILL?

36. YEAH, I THINK I DID JUST FINE.

37. CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.

38. AND THE WAY THAT YOU WRITE YOUR "A"

39. SHOWS THAT YOU'RE INTELLIGENT AND PLAYFUL.

40. WOW, YOU CAN TELL ALL THAT

41. FROM JUST MY SIGNATURE?

42. YEP. THAT'S AMAZING.

43. DO ME, DO ME!

44. SIGN RIGHT THERE UNDER ASHLEY.

45. OK. SO, WHAT DO YOU SEE ABOUT ME?

46. WELL, THE BOLD VERTICAL STROKES

47. SHOW THAT YOU'RE IMPULSIVE.

48. THE LARGE CAPITAL LETTERS SHOW THAT YOU'RE COMMITTED.

49. AND THE LITTLE SMILEY FACE YOU USE TO DOT YOUR "I"

50. SHOWS THAT YOU GOT WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS.

51. OH! THAT'S ALL TRUE.

52. WHO DOES IT SAY I'M GOING TO MARRY?

53. UH, HANDSOME MOVIE STAR WHO WILL ONLY BE HAPPY

54. IF YOU SPEND OBSCENE AMOUNTS OF MONEY.

55. OH! YOU'RE GOOD.

56. HELLO, EVERYBODY.

57. HI, HONEY.

58. DADDY, WILL KNOWS HOW

59. TO ANALYZE PEOPLE'S HANDWRITING.

60. YES, HE'S QUITE GOOD, SIR.

61. ONE LOOK AT MY SIGNATURE,

62. AND HE DEDUCED THAT I WAS VALIANT,

63. INGENIOUS, AND HAVE THE STRENGTH OF 10.

64. HERE, LET ME DO YOURS, UNCLE PHIL.

65. OH, WILL, I DON'T BELIEVE THAT NONSENSE.

66. I'D HARDLY CALL IT NONSENSE.

67. PLEASE, DADDY. IT'S FUN.

68. OH, GOD. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.

69. WHERE DO I SIGN?

70. OH, NO, NO, UNCLE PHIL.

71. YOU DESERVE A FRESH PIECE OF PAPER.

72. HOW ABOUT YOU, AUNT VIV?

73. SURE. WHY NOT?

74. OH, WILL, THIS IS ALWAYS SUCH A SAD MOMENT.

75. WHAT IS?

76. GETTING YOU AND MOM TO SIGN

77. HIS HALL OF SHAME HISTORY EXAM.

78. HISTORY EXAM?

79. SORRY, WILL.

80. MOM, DAD, IF IT'S ANY CONSOLATION,

81. I GOT AN "A" ON THE TEST.

82. AND I MUST SAY, I FOUND IT VERY EASY.

83. CARLTON, ASHLEY, WE'D LIKE TO TALK TO WILL ALONE.

84. WILL, WHAT IS GOING ON?

85. HERE YOU DO SO WELL IN ENGLISH AND MATH.

86. HOW COULD YOU DO SO POORLY IN HISTORY?

87. IT'S NOT MY FAULT, AUNT VIV. THAT CLASS IS BORING.

88. DON'T GIVE US THAT, WILL.

89. NO, WHAT I MEANT...

90. I MEAN, THEY DON'T TEACH THE WHOLE STORY.

91. WE LEARN NOTHING ABOUT THE BLACK PEOPLE

92. IN AMERICAN HISTORY. IF THEY TAUGHT THAT,

93. MAYBE I'D BE MORE INTERESTED AND WORK HARDER.

94. YOU KNOW, THAT'S NOT A BAD IDEA.

95. IT'S NOT?

96. IT'S NOT?

97. IT'S NOT?

98. CARLTON, STOP EAVESDROPPING!

99. SORRY, MOM.

100. NOW, LOOK,

101. THIS DOES NOT EXCUSE YOUR BAD GRADE,

102. BUT I THINK YOU'VE MADE A GOOD POINT

103. ABOUT THE CURRICULUM.

104. SO WE ALL AGREE HERE?

105. NONE OF THIS IS ANY OF MY FAULT?

106. THIS HAS BEEN A PRODUCTIVE MEETING.

107. STAY PUT.

108. NOW, YOU'VE BROUGHT UP A VALID POINT HERE,

109. BUT IF YOU WANT TO LEARN BLACK HISTORY,

110. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?

111. MM-MM-MM.

112. DON'T JUST COMPLAIN, BABY, TAKE ACTION!

113. WRITE A STATEMENT ABOUT WHY YOU THINK MORE BLACK HISTORY

114. SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE CURRICULUM

115. AND PRESENT IT AT NEXT WEEK'S PARENT/TEACHERS' MEETING.

116. I'LL GO WITH YOU.

117. YOU WILL?

118. YOU WILL?

119. YOU WILL?

120. THE ADMINISTRATION WILL TAKE UNDER CONSIDERATION

121. THE PETITION SUGGESTING THAT WE CHANGE THE SCHOOL MOTTO

122. TO "BEL-AIR ACADEMY... LOVE IT OR GO TO PUBLIC SCHOOL."

123. ANY OTHER NEW BUSINESS?

124. UH, HEADMASTER ARMSTRONG, I HAVE SOME.

125. AH, MR. SMITH.

126. WELL, THIS SHOULD CERTAINLY BE FLY.

127. I... I THINK THE STUDENTS AT THIS SCHOOL

128. ARE BEING CHEATED OUT OF A VALUABLE LEARNING EXPERIENCE.

129. I'M TALKING ABOUT COACH SMILEY'S HISTORY CLASS.

130. THAT'S PROFESSOR SMILEY, SMITH.

131. THAT'LL BE 10 LAPS.

132. WHAT'S YOUR CONCERN, MR. SMITH?

133. WELL, WE LEARN ABOUT GEORGE WASHINGTON

134. AND THOMAS JEFFERSON

135. AND ALL THEM OTHER DUDES THAT WOUND UP ON OUR MONEY,

136. BUT WHAT ABOUT MARTIN LUTHER KING

137. AND CRISPUS ATTUCKS AND ALL THE OTHER BLACK PEOPLE

138. THAT MADE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS COUNTRY?

139. YOU KNOW, IT'S SORT OF LIKE WHEN THERE WASN'T NO PICTURES

140. OF ANY BROTHERS ON THE WALL, YOU KNOW,

141. IN SPIKE LEE'S MOVIE DO THE RIGHT THING.

142. I'M SORRY, MR. SMITH.

143. THE LAST MOVIE I SAW WAS DEAD POETS SOCIETY.

144. WITH THE RIGHT HEADMASTER,

145. THAT WOULD'VE BEEN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT STORY.

146. OH, ANYWAY,

147. COACH SMILEY, WOULD YOU CARE TO RESPOND

148. TO MR. SMITH?

149. ALL RIGHT.

150. I'D LIKE TO MAKE 3 POINTS.

151. FIRST, IN MY COURSE WE ARE TRYING TO CONDENSE

152. 200 AND... OH, SOME ODD YEARS OF HISTORY

153. INTO 9 MONTHS OF LESSONS.

154. OBVIOUSLY, WE HAVE TO CONCENTRATE

155. ON SOME HISTORICAL FIGURES AND EXCLUDE OTHERS.

156. THAT'S TRUE.

157. SECOND, OUR SCHOOL HAS A FINE LIBRARY...

158. OR SO I'VE BEEN TOLD...

159. WHERE ANY STUDENT WHO WANTS TO.

160. CAN STUDY MORE ABOUT BLACK HISTORY.

161. ANOTHER GOOD POINT.

162. AHEM.

163. THIRD, FOR YEARS I HAVE TAUGHT MY COURSE

164. FROM THIS WELL-RESPECTED TEXTBOOK,

165. AND, QUITE FRANKLY,

166. I DON'T KNOW A LICK MORE THAN WHAT'S IN THIS BOOK.

167. SO FORGET IT.

168. BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT.

169. AND IT IS. UNFORTUNATELY,

170. THE SCHOOL RULE BOOK CLEARLY STATES

171. THAT ANY REQUESTS PERTAINING TO CURRICULUM CHANGES

172. BE ACCOMPANIED BY...

173. A PETITION SIGNED BY 150 STUDENT SIGNATURES...

174. ARTICLE 4, SECTION 9.

175. WHERE'D YOU GET AHOLD OF THAT BOOK?

176. I MEAN, UH, IT CERTAINLY WILL TAKE SOME TIME

177. TO REVISE THE CURRICULUM.

178. WELL, WHAT ABOUT HAVING SOMEBODY

179. COME IN TO REPLACE COACH SMILEY

180. FOR A MONTH OR SO TO TEACH SOME BLACK HISTORY?

181. A MONTH OFF?

182. ARMSTRONG, I THINK THE KID'S GOT SOMETHING HERE.

183. WELL, BE THAT AS IT MAY,

184. I'M SURE IT'LL BE SOME WHILE

185. BEFORE WE CAN FIND A TEACHER.

186. SO, UNLESS THERE'S ANY OTHER NEW BUSINESS,

187. THIS MEETING IS...

188. UH, I HATE TO SAY THIS, MR. ARMSTRONG,

189. BUT IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE YOU'RE STALLING.

190. NOT AT ALL, MRS. BANKS. WE JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE

191. THAT THE PERSON WE GET IS PROPERLY QUALIFIED.

192. FOR EXAMPLE, A COLLEGE PROFESSOR WITH A Ph.D.

193. WHO'S TAUGHT BLACK HISTORY

194. AND LITERATURE AT THE UNIVERSITY LEVEL?

195. WHERE ARE WE GONNA FIND SOMEONE LIKE THAT?

196. YOU'RE LOOKING AT HER.

197. SEE YOU IN A MONTH.

198. ALL RIGHT, CARLTON.

199. NOW THAT WE'RE STUDYING SOMETHING I KNOW ABOUT,

200. I'M GONNA BE THE STAR OF THIS CLASS.

201. NO, YOU'RE NOT. I AM.

202. WHAT ARE YOU, TRIPPIN'? HOW DO YOU FIGURE THAT?

203. BECAUSE THE TEACHER'S MY MOMMY.

204. GOOD MORNING, CLASS.

205. MOM, I'D LIKE TO WELCOME YOU

206. AND SAY, ON BEHALF OF THE ENTIRE CLASS,

207. HOW HAPPY WE ARE TO HAVE YOU HERE.

208. WHAT DID YOU CALL ME, MR. BANKS?

209. WHAT I ALWAYS CALL YOU... MOM.

210. MY NAME IS NOT MOM. MY NAME IS PROFESSOR BANKS.

211. THAT IS HOW I PREFER TO BE ADDRESSED.

212. IT THAT CLEAR, CLASS?

213. YES, PROFESSOR BANKS.

214. BLACK AMERICAN HISTORY, GENTLEMEN,

215. FROM AFRICA TO SLAVERY TO THE PRESENT.

216. NOW, WE'VE ALL HEARD OF FREDERICK DOUGLASS,

217. MARTIN LUTHER KING, AND BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.

218. BUT BLACK HISTORY INCLUDES AS LOT OF PEOPLE

219. WHOSE NAMES AND FACES AREN'T REMEMBERED TODAY.

220. NOW, HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE HEARD THE SPIRITUALS

221. SUNG BY THE SLAVES?

222. UH, I HAVE.

223. NOW LISTEN TO THIS.

224. HEY, THAT WAS PRETTY COOL.

225. YEAH.

226. NOW, WHAT DO YOU SUPPOSE THE PURPOSE OF THAT SONG WAS?

227. UH, LET ME HANDLE THIS ONE.

228. FOR THOSE OF YOU

229. UNFAMILIAR WITH THE SPIRITUALS...

230. ALLOW ME TO EXPLAIN.

231. THE SLAVES USED TO SING THEM

232. TO KEEP THEIR SPIRITS UP AND THEIR MINDS ON GOD

233. IN THE FACE OF ALL THE OPPRESSION

234. THAT THEY SUFFERED.

235. THAT WAS VERY WELL PUT, MR. SMITH,

236. BUT YOU'RE WRONG.

237. I BEG YOUR PARDON?

238. THAT SONG WAS WRITTEN TO BE USED

239. AS A SECRET CODE OF THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD.

240. SECRET CODE? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

241. WELL, FIRST OF ALL, CAN ANYONE TELL ME

242. WHAT THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD WAS?

243. NOW, THIS ONE I KNOW.

244. THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD WAS A GROUP OF PEOPLE

245. THAT LED THE SLAVES TO FREEDOM.

246. AND WHEN WAS IT ESTABLISHED?

247. DURING SLAVERY.

248. WELL, THAT COVERS ABOUT 250 YEARS, MR. SMITH.

249. UH, CARE TO NARROW IT DOWN A BIT?

250. WHAT DO YOU MEAN, RIGHT NOW?

251. SIT DOWN, MR. SMITH.

252. IT WAS ESTABLISHED DURING THE 1840s.

253. HARRIET TUBMAN, AN EX-SLAVE, WAS ONE OF THE LEADERS.

254. THESE GOSPEL SONGS WERE ACTUALLY SECRET MESSAGES

255. SENT TO TELL THE RUNAWAY SLAVES HOW TO GET TO FREEDOM.

256. FOR EXAMPLE, THE DRINKING GOURD

257. REFERRED TO THE BIG DIPPER.

258. WHEN THEY SLAVES SANG "FOLLOW THE DRINKING GOURD,"

259. THAT SIGNALED TO THE RUNAWAY SLAVES

260. TO RUN TOWARDS THE BIG DIPPER.

261. ALONG THE ROUTE, THEY WOULD MEET WITH THE ABOLITIONISTS

262. AND ESCAPE TO FREEDOM.

263. WELL, THAT'S WHAT I MEANT.

264. COULD YOU TEACH US ONE OF THE SONGS, PROFESSOR?

265. HERE'S ONE CALLED WADE IN THE WATER.

266. NOW, THIS SONG TOLD THE RUNAWAY SLAVES

267. THAT THE BEST ESCAPE ROUTE WAS ALONG THE RIVER.

268. LATE AT NIGHT, THESE SONGS COULD BE HEARD

269. COME FROM THE SLAVE CABINS ALONG THE ROUTE,

270. GUIDING THE RUNAWAYS TO FREEDOM.

271. EVERYBODY, JOIN IN NOW.

272. COME ON, NOW.

273. NOW, ALL RIGHT.

274. NOT BAD, GUYS.

275. OK, NEXT WEEK'S ASSIGNMENT WILL BE A REPORT

276. ON THE PORT ROYAL EXPERIMENT AND THE PENN SCHOOL

277. WRITTEN BY MR. SMITH.

278. WHO, ME?

279. THIS COURSE WAS YOUR IDEA, MR. SMITH.

280. I THINK IT ONLY FITTING THAT YOU BE GIVEN THE HONOR

281. OF THE FIRST ASSIGNMENT.

282. CONGRATULATIONS, WILL. WHAT AN HONOR.

283. MR. SMITH WILL WRITE THE FIRST HALF OF THE REPORT.

284. THE SECOND HALF WILL BE WRITTEN BY MR. BANKS.

285. WHO, ME?

286. IT EXPECT IT TO BE AT LEAST 15 PAGES,

287. TYPED, DOUBLE-SPACED,

288. WITH FOOTNOTES AND A BIBLIOGRAPHY.

289. THIS COURSE WAS A BRILLIANT IDEA, WILL.

290. SHE'S YOUR MOM.

291. I CAN'T BELIEVE MOM PICKED US

292. TO DO THAT SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT.

293. WORD. MAN, COACH SMILEY NEVER WOULD'VE DID THAT.

294. HE USED TO SAY, "EXTRA WORK FOR YOU

295. MEANS EXTRA WORK FOR ME."

296. EXCUSE ME.

297. DIBS ON THE TALL ONE.

298. EXCUSE ME, MISS.

299. UH, MAYBE YOU CAN HELP ME OUT HERE.

300. I SEEM TO HAVE LOST ALL THE FEELING IN MY LIPS.

301. I'M CARLTON BANKS.

302. THAT'S RIGHT... THE CARLTON BANKS.

303. SO, Y'ALL WANT TO SLIDE OUT OF HERE

304. AND GET A LITTLE SOMETHING TO EAT?

305. SURE. OK.

306. WILL, CARLTON,

307. I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU.

308. I THINK CLASS WENT PRETTY WELL TODAY,

309. DON'T YOU?

310. YEAH. WELL, GOT TO GO.

311. OH, JUST A SECOND.

312. I'VE GOT SOMETHING FOR YOU.

313. NOW, THIS BOOK WILL HELP YOU

314. WITH YOUR RESEARCH PAPER.

315. IT'S ABOUT THE PENN SCHOOL.

316. NOW, CHARLOTTE THORNTON

317. WAS ONE OF ITS FIRST BLACK TEACHERS,

318. AND SHE... WILL!

319. ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?

320. OF COURSE.

321. YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT THE PENN SCHOOL.

322. WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT THE PENN SCHOOL?

323. IT'S RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER FROM THE PENCIL SCHOOL?

324. UH-HUH.

325. WELL, UH, THANKS, MOM.

326. OH, CARLTON,

327. HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU, BABY?

328. TUCK IN YOUR SHIRT. LOOK AT YOU.

329. HONESTLY, WILL,

330. THOSE EYEBROWS.

331. OH!

332. NOW, HURRY UP. WE'RE GOING TO THE LIBRARY.

333. THE TALL ONE REALLY LIKED ME.

334. GEOFFREY, I'M GOING ON MY FIRST JOB INTERVIEW

335. AT AN ART GALLERY, AND I NEED SOME ADVICE.

336. YOU'VE BEEN ON A LOT OF JOB INTERVIEWS BEFORE,

337. HAVEN'T YOU?

338. WHY, YES, MISS HILARY.

339. I'VE WORKED MY ENTIRE LIFE.

340. REALLY? WHY?

341. BECAUSE I'VE ALWAYS BEEN PARTIAL

342. TO FOOD AND SHELTER.

343. OH, OK. ANYWAY,

344. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO PREPARE FOR THIS INTERVIEW,

345. BUT EVERY TIME I THINK ABOUT IT,

346. I GET REALLY, REALLY NERVOUS.

347. I MEAN, WHAT DO THEY ASK YOU AT THESE THINGS?

348. MISS HILARY,

349. IT'S NOTHING TO BE NERVOUS ABOUT.

350. JUST A FEW SIMPLE QUESTIONS.

351. FOR EXAMPLE, WHAT IS YOUR NAME?

352. HILARY S. BANKS.

353. EDUCATION?

354. 2 YEARS OF COLLEGE.

355. AND WHAT ARE YOUR QUALIFICATIONS

356. TO WORK IN AN ART GALLERY?

357. WELL, I'M, LIKE...

358. AN ART GALLERY TO ME IS LIKE...

359. WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S, LIKE...

360. OK. OK. WHEN I WALK INTO AN ART GALLERY,

361. IT'S, LIKE, UM...

362. I MEAN, OK, IF I HAD TO CHOOSE, ALL RIGHT?

363. WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S, LIKE, I MEAN...

364. LEAVE ME ALONE!

365. YOU'RE HIRED.

366. YO, G, IS AUNT VIV HERE?

367. YES, SHE'S IN THE KITCHEN. SHALL I...

368. NO! NO!

369. SHE CAN'T KNOW WE'RE HERE.

370. YO, G, SHE HASN'T LET US WATCH TV IN A WEEK.

371. I'M STARTING TO GET WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS, MAN.

372. MY BODY NEEDS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MICROWAVES.

373. HI, GUYS.

374. HOW'S THAT HISTORY CLASS COMING?

375. FINE. FINE.

376. YEAH. DECENT, I GUESS.

377. HMM. HOW ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR TERM PAPERS

378. AND YOUR READING ASSIGNMENTS

379. AND YOUR ECONOMIC GRAPHS OF THE COTTON INDUSTRY?

380. DAD, IF YOU DON'T MIND,

381. WE'D RATHER NOT TALK ABOUT HISTORY CLASS.

382. OK. SUIT YOURSELF.

383. UNCLE PHIL, PLEASE.

384. IF MEMORY SERVES,

385. THIS BLACK HISTORY CLASS WAS YOUR IDEA.

386. YEAH, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW AUNT VIV WOULD TEACH IT.

387. SHE'S DRIVING US CRAZY. LAST NIGHT I HAD A DREAM

388. THAT I WENT TO THE PROM WITH HARRIET TUBMAN.

389. WILL, I SAW THIS COMING.

390. YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE GONNA GET A FREE RIDE

391. IN THAT HISTORY CLASS, DIDN'T YOU?

392. NO, I DIDN'T.

393. I SURE DID.

394. WELL, I DON'T HAVE ANY SYMPATHY FOR EITHER ONE OF YOU.

395. JUST BECAUSE SHE'S DOING A GOOD JOB TEACHING THAT CLASS

396. AND MAKING YOU DO SOME HARD WORK,

397. YOU CAN'T TAKE IT.

398. LOOK, THAT'S NOT IT. LOOK, UNCLE PHIL,

399. FOR HER OWN GOOD, YOU HAVE TO WARN HER,

400. IF SHE KEEPS BEING SO TOUGH,

401. THE WHOLE CLASS IS GONNA REVOLT.

402. I CAN SEE IT IN THEM KIDS' FACES.

403. THEY'RE ON THE EDGE.

404. UMOGA.

405. I WHAT?

406. UMOGA. IT'S SWAHILI FOR UNITY.

407. DOPE, HUH? I GOT THE WHOLE BERLITZ COURSE

408. ON CASSETTE FOR MY ORAL REPORT TODAY.

409. HEY, LEBRAM, DID YOU TAKE MY JET MAGAZINE?

410. NO, I'VE GOT MY OWN SUBSCRIPTION.

411. GOOD MORNING, CLASS.

412. WELL, WHO WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THE FIRST ORAL PRESENTATION?

413. OH, ME! I DO!

414. JONATHAN, YOU DID YOUR PRESENTATION YESTERDAY.

415. BUT I'VE DONE A WHOLE NEW PRESENTATION,

416. JUST FOR FUN.

417. PROFESSOR BANKS,

418. BEFORE WE MAKE OUR PRESENTATIONS,

419. WE HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY TO YOU.

420. A BUNCH OF US WERE AT CHADNEY'S HOUSE

421. THE OTHER NIGHT

422. MAKING OUR EXTRA-CREDIT DIORAMAS,

423. AND WE STARTED TALKING. AND WE AGREED

424. THAT IT WAS A SHAME THAT YOU'RE GOING TO LEAVE

425. AT THE END OF THE MONTH.

426. OH, YEAH, TERRIBLE.

427. THAT'S A WACK, WACK SITUATION.

428. SO ANYWAY, WE CAME UP WITH THIS.

429. IT'S A PETITION FOR YOU TO BECOME

430. OUR PERMANENT HISTORY TEACHER.

431. SHOOT ME.

432. GUYS...

433. I'M OVERWHELMED. THIS IS VERY FLATTERING.

434. ACCORDING TO THE SCHOOL RULE BOOK,

435. WE NEED 150 SIGNATURES. SO FAR WE'VE COLLECTED 148.

436. WE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FUN

437. IF THE 2 SIGNATURES TO PUT IT OVER THE TOP

438. WERE WILL AND CARLTON. GUYS, DO THE HONORS.

439. UM, AF-AFTER YOU, WILL.

440. UH, NO, NO. YOU GO AHEAD FIRST.

441. I INSIST.

442. SHE'S YOUR MOM.

443. THIS CLASS WAS YOUR IDEA.

444. OK, OK. UH, LISTEN, GUYS.

445. I'M VERY TOUCHED THAT YOU WANT ME TO STAY,

446. BUT I DON'T THINK THE UNIVERSITY WOULD APPROVE.

447. BUT I DON'T SEE...

448. NOW, LET'S GET BACK TO WORK.

449. MR. FLETCHER,

450. WOULD YOU CARE TO GIVE YOUR REPORT, PLEASE?

451. HI THERE, AUNT VIV.

452. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

453. JUST GRADING PAPERS.

454. THE CLASS COMING OVER LATER?

455. YEAH. MAYBE YOU CAN TELL US MORE

456. ABOUT HARRIET TUBMAN.

457. YEAH. I... I NEVER GET ENOUGH OF HER.

458. I THINK YOU DID GET ENOUGH.

459. YOU CERTAINLY THOUGHT ONE MONTH WAS ENOUGH.

460. MOM, I'M SORRY IF I WASN'T AS ENTHUSIASTIC

461. AS THE REST OF THE GUYS.

462. YOU'RE A GREAT TEACHER. IT'S JUST...

463. WELL, I HOPE YOU DON'T TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY,

464. BUT... YOU MADE OUR LIVES A LIVING NIGHTMARE.

465. NOW, HOW DID I DO THAT?

466. AUNT VIV, YOU READ ME IN FRONT OF THE CLASS.

467. YOU GAVE US ALL THAT EXTRA WORK

468. AND YOU MADE US DO ALL THOSE REPORTS.

469. I DIDN'T HEAR ANY COMPLAINTS FROM THE REST OF THE CLASS.

470. THAT'S BECAUSE YOU WERE HARDER ON THE TWO OF US.

471. I'M SORRY YOU FELT I WAS BEING HARD ON YOU,

472. BUT I THOUGHT THAT THE 2 BLACK STUDENTS

473. WOULD ACTUALLY WANT TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THE COURSE.

474. I... I GUESS WE DIDN'T

475. THINK ABOUT IT THAT WAY.

476. MOM?

477. YES.

478. THIS WHOLE UGLY EPISODE...

479. IT'S NOT GOING TO AFFECT MY GRADE, WILL IT?

480. I'M A VERY TOUGH GRADER, CARLTON.

481. AND YOU'RE VERY BEAUTIFUL, MOMMY.

482. WILL, THERE'S ONE THING I'VE BEEN WONDERING.

483. WHAT'S THAT?

484. WHY DID YOU WANT A COURSE

485. IN BLACK HISTORY IN THE FIRST PLACE?

486. 'CAUSE I'M INTERESTED IN IT.

487. ARE YOU REALLY? OF COURSE.

488. WELL, YOU DIDN'T SEEM TOO HAPPY

489. ABOUT ALL THE WORK I WAS GIVING YOU.

490. WEREN'T YOU THE ONE WHO SAID

491. THAT IF YOU WERE REALLY INTERESTED IN SOMETHING,

492. YOU'D STUDY HARD?

493. AUNT VIV,

494. I READ THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF MALCOLM X 3 TIMES.

495. AND THAT MAKES YOU A SERIOUS STUDENT

496. ON BLACK HISTORY?

497. THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT BOOK.

498. WILL, BABY, YOU CAN READ THAT BOOK,

499. YOU CAN WEAR THE T-SHIRTS,

500. YOU CAN PUT UP THE POSTERS,

501. AND YOU CAN SHOUT THE SLOGANS,
