The Role Of African American History In Human Culture

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.

Today, they are usually called as Black American. For many years, people of African descent have formed the course of African American History. However, because of many issues that happened over the years, it seems that everything have been forgotten, especially the young generation. This is the reason, why it is very important to focus on the learning and to know the importance of knowing the whole history of the Blacks.

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.

The experience of Black teenagers in the lecture room or classrooms is like being present, but excluded as well. This is because, the learning taught in schools have ignored the cultural heritage of the blacks. Some would even claimed that they have nothing to do with the history and do not have any 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.

Actually, it is an opportunity to conduct a race dialogue. For many centuries, America have avoided many objections, open and honest discussions on race. Still, the main issue here is racism. It is specifically the way whites have treated the Blacks. Although how hard they strive hard to obtain a certain endeavor, they are still fettered and endure the legacy of racism.

The past events of human affairs is not only a discussion of contributions, struggles and achievements. It is also a discussion of contemporary event and a role that endure bigotry and racism and plays a great role in preventing Blacks from reaching a force. It is also a way to remove the barrier between the white and black people once and for all.

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.
