When I was in school, Black History meant slavery, the civil war, and the civil rights movement. Fortunately, I had a family that showed me that Black History is a lot more than just oppression. Black History covers a wide range a topics, because Black people do and have done a variety of things. Many posts in this section are dedicated to spotlighting some of the lesser known Blacks who made a difference in the world, both presently and in the past. Historical information as well as poetic commentary are provided in most posts. General topics pertinent to the Black experience, such as the one drop rule and music, are also included. |
