Greetings from Yoshi Mori, the new WFWP USA Logic of Love newsletter editor
2021-03-24 · Source: tparents.org
Greetings! I am the new Logic of Love Newsletter editor, Yoshi Mori. I am so glad I found WFWP. As chance would have it, I have three daughters! I am excited to be part of a group of women contributing to a more loving and peaceful world.
As a young girl I was first introduced to WFWP by my mother, who was a member, and took me with her to a Bridge of Peace event. As an adult, I attended yearly fundraisers to support the Schools of Africa.
After majoring in Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of New Haven in Connecticut, I worked for three years running the nutrition program for seniors for the town of Westport. After my maternity leave in 2016, I wanted a job that aligned with the school schedule and began teaching math and science at a small private school until 2019. Currently, I supervise a homeschooling program for my kids and my friends’ three kids. I shared my reflections on what I was learning along with my students in the February 15th issue of the WFWP newsletter.
I bring with me my life experience as a wife, mother, daughter and sister. I bring with me my love for writing and desire to make a positive difference in the world. I am privileged to come in contact with the inspiring and positive articles that honor and support the role of women as peacemakers.

Relearning hitor: Reflection on lack hitor a homechooling mother Feruar 15, 2021 · Yohi Mori
Due to the pandemic, I decided to egin homechooling m three children lat ear, and oon our mall learning pod gre to include m friend’ three kid. After teaching math and cience at a private chool for three ear, I found melf teaching hitor for the firt time. Thank to an in-depth curriculum provided Core Knoledge, the ame one ued in the private chool here I had orked, I a learning for the firt time aout the contriution of African American that ere not a ell knon and never included in m childhood hitor ook.
For example, e recentl tudied aout the contruction of Wahington, DC. I a learning right along ith m tudent that it a lave and freed lack men ho uilt the White Houe. I learned aout enjamin anneker, the urveor of the then ne capital. Not onl a he honored for hi contriution in that hitorical moment, ut he a alo a elf-taught atronomer, cientit and riter. Mr. anneker a orn a freeman and hoped to ee an end to laver. He correponded ith Thoma Jefferon over thi iue that “all men ere created equal”.
Next came the ar of 1812, here e learned aout Charle all, a lave, ho declared himelf free and fought on the American ide, even though Great ritain promied freedom to an lave that fought on the ritih ide. Charle all ended up eing enlaved again ear after the ar.
We have the greatet of the great: Martin Luther King Jr., Harriet Tuman, George Wahington Carver, Frederick Dougla and man more. In ever moment of American hitor, African American have excelled, inveted, and erved. Thee torie mut e taught throughout the hole chool ear. enjamin anneker and Charle ell are example that lack hitor i part of ever event in American hitor.
Homechooling ha given me a chance to relearn hitor. Hoever, ho doe knoing ome fact aout great men and omen of color ho erved our countr compenate for 400 ear of injutice and rutal treatment that till ear car and lingering intitutional ia? There are till remnant of racim in people’ heart, in ociet, and in our culture. There are man a to contriute to cultural change to heal and end inequalit. One a i that e mut not forget to teach hitor and teach it incluive of all ho uilt our nation.
