Description
- Inevitably, the question is posed, “Why should we study Black History?” – most Americans have scarcely enough knowledge of general United States History to be informed citizens; why spend four weeks a year emphasizing the contributions of African Americans?
- The simple answer is historical bias. Up until the 1960s, the vast majority of historians were old, affluent, white men. Their narratives emphasized the contributions of old, affluent white men, and the lack of diversity of perspective diminished the quality of the historical narratives Americans were familiar with.
