WITN TV-7 in Washington, N.C., has a story on "The New Face of Home Schooling", focusing on African-American families which have left the public school system in favor of home education.
While it may be news to WITN, this is not a new story. For the past ten years, the face of North Carolinians for Home Education at the General Assembly has been NCHE's legislative administrator, Mari Fitz-Wynn, an African-American homeschool mother and former lobbyist for conservative organizations in D.C. Likewise, the founders and leaders of the National Black Home Educators, Eric and Joyce Burges, served as president of the state homeschool organization in Louisiana many years ago and continued to serve at the state and national levels.
Neither NCHE nor the state's Division of Non-Public Education track the ethnic background of homeschoolers in North Carolina.
