12695241, I took FOUR history courses in undergrad Posted by deejboram, Sat Jan-10-15 05:27 PM
none of them covered afro-caribbean history or pan-africanism that much. why? i guess they are of lil use in today's society ppl get entire degrees in just U.S. Civil War history you have too much information to cover in too short of time
being at an HBCU i've had instructors go a lil deeper and give the "black side" of historical events but it wasn't any Af-Am studies course in Music 101 Professor Lott would give the black details that the textbook left out in Health 101 Ms. Butler would go into stuff like the Tuskeegee Experiments but she would tell about stuff like that in off color jokes
my mom kept us out of school every June 19th and she schooled us (in a very surface level way) of what juneteenth meant
