Weekly Blog Question #1

History of African Americans has always been an interest of mine. From the time Blacks were shipped here for slavery and now with a Black President, much has taken place in that time frame and I hope to learn about the steps taken in history to get to where we are today. I am a business major, so haven't taken much history courses. I am taking this course as an elective because I think it will be very interesting, and also broaden my knowledge before graduation this May. I have not had the opportunity to study African-American history at all, and I only know what was taught in my high-school history courses. I hope to leave this course with a much deeper understanding of the main highlights and actions that were taken to get to where we are today. And thus, be more knowledgeable on the subject.
