Homework #1

I am a sophomore studying psychology at Iowa. I decided to take African American Culture not only for my major, but to further my knowledge about the African American experience in this country. I would like to learn more about the history of African American culture to understand it's continued development in America. I am very interested in this class because studying psychology I would like to expand my knowledge of different cultures and would like to better understand their histories. I believe I will learn more about African American culture in this class then any other history class I've taken which is exciting to me because of our new president and as new changed come to our country. Hopefully, I will become better informed about our new culture and it's positive future.
