The Importance Of African American History

By Claudine Hodges


The history of the African American plays a great part in the whole human affairs. Usually, it concentrates in different Black groups in the United States. They are usually the descendants of the Africans who are captivated during the British time within a long period of time. They are also called by different names, such as colored or negro and have diminished over time.

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.

Many of the Black Americans have experienced struggles being in school. Although they are present, but they are also like excluded. It means, that details and information taught in schools are far away from the real cultural heritage of the Blacks. They are also educationalists who claimed that Black people have no certain cultural heritage, which is a big lie.

The past event in human affairs is important because there are several forces these days that wants to reset the clock and go back in the past where they are still considered as least burden. There are others who want to revise the past events to clean and sanitize the practice of slavery and unsavory history of America. It seems that the entire event is shameful as it sounds.

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.

Actually, America is a specific melting pot of people from different races. People in the country should feel proud of their ethnic race and should celebrate who and where they came from. Hence, the series of the history must be taught in colleges and schools, so young generation may also learn and understand 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.
