Phylicia Rashad is an ambassador and advocate for the African American culture Heritage Action Fund (@SavingPlaces) and she is involved with the Brainerd Institute Heritage. In an interview with @blackamericaweb she talks about both. Brainerd Institute Heritage is owned by Dr Vivian Ayers Allen (@therealdebbieallen and Phylicia Rashad are her daughters). Brainerd Institute Heritage is located in Chester County, South Carolina. On June, 4th there starts the Workshops in Open Fields. Workshops in Open Fields at Brainerd Institute is based on the ground-breaking program created by Dr. Vivian Ayers Allen in Houston. This educational initiative will continue to expand each year to benefit the Chester County community and provide a shining example of how education in South Carolina – and our nation – can be approached in a way that truly engages the minds of young people and encourages a lifelong love of learning. Certified teachers from the Chester County School District enthusiastically volunteer their time to participate as teachers for the program. The innovative approach to education is as refreshing to the teachers as it is to the students.
