Things To Know About African American History

By Claudine Hodges


African American is part of the history that focuses on the Black American groups in the United Sates. Most of them are descendants of the captive Africans in the British controlled regions that became the United Sates from 1555 to 1865. African Americans are well known by several names throughout the history, such as negro or colored which are no longer accepted in English.

Nowadays, they are no longer called as negro, instead they are known as the Black Americans. The African descendants have shaped a course of African American History. But, due to several issues, it seems that the whole event have been ignored by many people. That is why, young generation should also learned the whole truth about the past events.

Actually, education for children and even teenagers are usually about the intellectual heritage. Basically, the main subject of the learning concentrates on the achievements and contributions of the Chinese, Hindus, Arabs and Buddhists. They have neglected the contributions of the Africans in the culture, as a whole.

For many black people, especially the teenagers, the experience in the classroom is being present and excluded at the same time. Information taught in schools ignore the cultural heritage of the Black people. There are also some school educationalists who have claimed that black people in general have no cultural heritage.

This is the reason why the events in the past should be taught to the children in the modern era, so they would also understand why it happened and the reasons behind all issues. Actually, there are also some forces who wanted to reset the time and bring back the past for them to change the issues. They want to revise the events to sanitize the whole practice of unsavory history of America. This is because, they considered it as a shameful one.

However, the truth is, it is a good opportunity to conduct a lot of race dialogues. In fact, for many centuries, America avoid any objections, honest and open discussions on the races. This is because, the prime issue here is racism. This is about on how they treat the Blacks. They have struggled a lot and no matter how many times they want to achieve something, they still endure the racism legacy.

Most of the past events are not only about struggles, contributions and achievements. It is about discussions of the role that endure that racism and bigotry that plays a prime role to prevent the Blacks from reaching a certain force. It is a great way to eliminate the barriers of white and black races.

America is a melting pot of individuals from different ethnic races and backgrounds. Every individual in the country should be proud of their heritage and must celebrate who they are and where the come from. Thus, the series of past events of the blacks should be taught in schools, so children may also know the whole truth.

For many years, a lot of African Americans have struggled a lot of things, especially when it comes to justice. They have lost their lives because they fight for the rights of their people. This is the reason, why they become an important part of the history. Every contribution of people have also made the country proud and free.
