[quote=Anonymous]We've been in MoCo for 11 years now and our daughter is now in 4th grade.  She has tons of friend, does well academically and has a healthy dose of self-esteem, which includes pride in being African-American.  However, she is ALWAYS the only one in her class and I would love for her to have the experience of going to school with other African-American children. We are involved in Jack and Jill, so she has that as an outlet but it is not the same as going to school with other Black children.  I grew up in a similar environment until I was around a sophomore in high school and then my parents moved states and I ended up at a high school with a population that was around 40% black.  It made the world of difference to me - I had friends who looked like me; I dated and was asked to homecoming and prom, etc.  I worry my daughter won't get to experience these things in our environment and don't want her to have to wait until college, particularly if she goes to an HBCU, to experience these things.  I would love any thoughts or input on this issue.[/quote]
