Taking the steps into history.

Today, racism is still very much present in America. It exists in every community, every city, and every state. It is time that this generation is taught the real history of African Americans. If we are taught the real history of African Americans, we may better understand the prevalence of racism in our country's past and present. Once we know our real history, we can create the tools to shape our future, a future without racism. We are our ancestors' wildest dreams. We have nothing to lose but our chains.♥

Why African American History needs to be taught.

- Learning this type of history helps students actually take their time to actually want to learn this kind of material

-It would have students value their culture and want to learn it more since it hasn't been taught

- There's more to African Americans than what people think. Some only know of seeing a tv show, movie, or listening to things from the news or media

- Its important to learn about what history made us, why we have the rights we have today

-Racism is still here today, learning this history you'll look at things different, more into other people's point of view what they have experienced during that point of history

-History will tell us what was behind certain things when it comes to slavery, to why it's disrespectful to say the n-word due to how slaves were treated

-No one is really educated with this type of history and it needs to be taught
