Weekend mornings in my house started off with me waking up before my mom and running down to turn on the TV and watch The Proud Family. I recently rewatched the show on Disney+ and was reminded of all the touching and funny moments that impacted me so much as a child. The one episode that still sticks out in my head is the one where Penny Proud goes back in time in a dream to live during segregation and the Civil Rights Era. Watching her gain a deeper connection with her African-American Heritage through that experience helped me do the same; especially because I had never learned African-American history as my own.
