Homework Question 1

I feel that African American Studies is going to be a vital source of information that will help me as a student and as an individual, broaden my knowledge of another race and culture. I have always been very intrigued by our nation's historical past. As stated by a classmate in our first class, the civil rights era and the African American cultural past is rarely talked about. Being such an overlooked period in our nation's past, I am very excited to learn about the people and the occurrences that helped shape our nation into what it is today.
