Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) April 7, 2005 -- To the Gullah Islands! African-American
Unschooling, a national network of Black homeschooling families, will once again
host the African-American Homeschoolers Family & Friends Vacation. Thursday,
May 26 through Sunday May 29, 2005, Hunting Island, South Carolina will be home

cultural celebration and fun. As an added bonus, the four days, three-night stay

Coordinators for the 2005 African-American
Homeschoolers Family & Friends Vacation are Veneka Smith of Burlingame,
California and Regina Dyson of Carrboro, North Carolina. Says Smith, “Camping is
a great way to get to know fellow homeschoolers. This year, African-American
Unschooling has selected another pristine, educationally stimulating environment
for our families to gather for fun and fellowship. No other experience promotes
solidarity more than eating, sleeping, and playing together under the
stars.”
African-American Unschooling was founded by S. Courtney Walton,
homeschooling mother of five in Phoenix, Arizona. In addition to her work with
African-American Unschooling, Walton serves on the advisory board of the
National African-American Homeschoolers Alliance and writes a homeschooling
column for The Good News Herald in St. Louis, Missouri. She is currently at work
on a resource guide for African-American homeschoolers.
