THE FIELDS SCHOOL - An African American School Without Failures
A Case Study of a School in Rural Alabama which served a
Community of African American Children from 1933-1949

History / Sociology / African American Studies

The Fields School - An African American School Without Failures

In a time when schools are failing our children, especially African Americans, could it be that taking a careful look at schools, including schools attended solely by African Americans, that were effective in the past, provide insight into why school are failing today and empower the educational system to operate schools without failures?

One such school, worthy of examination, is the Fields School...which served African Americans. Over three-quarters of the sample subjects attending this school had completed a bachelor's degree. Of these, over half, had completed some graduate work, one-third had master's degrees, one a doctoral degree and one a law degree. The author's first eight years of schooling was at the Fields School.

The Fields School has been meticulously researched. A personal interview was had with eighty percent of the students and fifty percent of the teachers who taught at the school during the period it existed in the 1930s and 1940s.

                                                         BEAUTIFUL  LIVING                                                         

Beautiful living;

Life is worth living.

Acknowledge with gratitude

This is my day of loving.

Be yourself; Follow your own heart.

Live all you can now. Live life to it fullest.

Live in the Full Life Process where living

is not limited by goals and achievements.

It matters not what you do in particular as long

as you know who you are and Whose you are.

Come on and celebrate and let your joys be known.

Join in a song of sweet accord and embrace full life.

Enjoy all Creation; The beautiful presence of God. Wow!

                                                                       TODAY                                                                 Today I acknowledge my true self,

accepting myself just as I am now;

Today I welcome this day with a warm

heart and open arms;

Today I greet everyone and everything  

 with a smile;

Today I let the presence within me bless the 

presence within others and the presence  

within others bless me;

Today I take time to smell the roses, look at the

sky and listen to the birds sing;

Today I am a new person, doing a new thing,

something beautiful and eternal;

Today the only business on my agenda is

today's business.

Today I am free, happy, and at peace with

God, myself and all creation.

THE LOUDEST SCREAM

This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles (Psalm 34.6)                                                     There may come a time in a person's life when he has to scream loudly, "Fire! Fire! Fire!"

The screams of desperation are numerous and they can be heard nearly everywhere. They are the voices and fears of pain. The screamer's plea for help, even when from a single person, may seem to be overwhelming to the person who cares.

For it may be the scream of an abandoned child, a soldier being tortured by his enemies, a woman fleeing from a serial killer who is determined to destroy her, a lonely person in a crowd who feels alone, a fear-stricken person sensing imminent danger that may be real or imaginary. These screamers have one thing in common: they are crying out for help - for someone to rescue them.

Sometimes other peope hear their screams and respond humanely; sometimes others ignore them; sometimes their scerams are out of quiet desperation and are too quiet for others to hear. But most of the times their screams are loud and sound as if they are from hysterical people. Yet, "the loudest scream" comes from those who cry out for love, those who can scream in rhythmic cadence often reaching a crescendo pitch that is so high that it goes off the barometer sound chart. What are their lyrics? Two words. They scream, "Love me! Love me! Love me!" That's all they ask, just love me. The loudest sceram is from the soulbroken person who experiences the most excruciating and severest pain of all scramers. Even sometimes when his scerams seem faint to others, they are not; they are always very loud to the screamer whose soul is broken. It is somewhat like unto Jesus crying out in a loud voice while on the cross, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani"  - which means, "My God, why have you forsaken me?"

Out of desperation the loudest screamer asks, seemingly demandingly, "Love Me!" He may say, "Love me or I am out of here," and even add, "before I am destructive to others and myself." This may mean that he will commit suicide suddenly or by a somewhat porlonged process that involves the use of drugs overeating or some other life-abusive substances to affect his premature demise.

How tragic it is that "the loudest scream" very often falls on deaf ears or, if heard, be ignored, perhaps by someone who does not have empathy for hurting people, or who is just too proud to help a broken human being. Yet those who refuse to help people in desperation may themselves become screamers and it is because they too never learned to love. There comes a time in the life of a person when he needs help and out of desperation he may scream loudly for someone to help him. The ultimate cure for a screamer is to find someone to love; the ultimate prevention for the person who turns a deaf ear to a screamer and is himself in danger of becoming a screamer is to love himself. Then he will love others even as he loves himself. Love, although mysterious, is efficacious and reality based. It connects the temporal and eternity.

EQUANIMITY

Would you like to know how to master stress, maybe, live a stress -free or near stress-free life?" You need search no further. The answer is presented in this message on "Equanimity" (e-kwe-'nim-et-e.)  

So what?" "coolness," at ease," balance," best describes or defines "equanimity." It is the manifestation of equilibrium attained in terms of comprehension of the diverse human  emotions such as sad, happy, excited, etc. Equanimity enshrouds a positive attitude and healthy disposition and can be considered to be the emotion "par excellence." In the situation specific equanimity can inactivate some emotions and activate others.It is characterized  by composure,evenness of mind under stress and steadiness under strain or pressure. For health's sake no other emotion can compare.

Coolness means that a person is free from agitation or excitement. So what? is both interrogative and declarative. It answers the question, "Does it matter? while simulaneously creating an at ease climate. Equanimity is a present state, the commencement of culmination of an indiviudal's spiritual journey toward  liberation and self-actualizaiton. More than any emotion or cluster of  emotions, equanimity is a state of being - mind, body and soul - that can be likened to a thermostat rather than a thermometer in that it creates and radiates its own temperature without circumstantial attunement.

Learning these lessons about equanimity pay great dividends: be cool in summer or winter, be calm when the storm is raging as well as when there is a gentle breeze and embrace transcendence. With stress being the number one devourer of man's ability to enjoy life, good health, peace and in some instances full life, as opposed to a premature death, it bears reiterating that equanimity can prevent stress and when it occurs be the antidote that restores balance and aliveness. In livingness and in a word, equanimity, offers to each person the challenge to let this be his modus operandi: "Don't swim: float."
