Spectrum News 9: Superhero lessons given to minority students by Black father-son duo

Updated: Jan 19, 2023

SARASOTA, Fla. — A father and son duo is working to help young minority and underrepresented students see themselves as superheroes.

They’re doing it in their 2-week superhero storytelling workshop at Booker Middle School in Sarasota. The class is a part of a partnership with USF’s Sarasota-Manatee campus’ PAInT Center.

McArthur Freeman and his 10-year-old son Nathaniel are the instructors for the course.

Nathaniel teaches art and coding to the group of about a dozen minority students, while giving examples of how to create their very own animated superhero story.

“To me, a superhero is somebody who helps people, who saves people, someone who helps people without the need for a reward or something,” Nathaniel said.
