Question 1

I feel as though learning about African-American culture is a necessary in a country where African-Americans are so prevalent. As an African-American I also feel that it is important to know and understand our past and why we are at the point we stand now. Over the span of hundreds of years we as a race have came so far and I believe it is only fair to pay respect to those who paved the way. At first I honestly wasn't expecting to learn so much history, but I do understand that in order to understand who we are we must understand what we were. I am excited to learn in an academic setting about African-American culture, which is a curriculum that wasn't offered to me before college.
