Black History Month
Making Sense of it All:
The Black Experience
in America Today
Until the breakthrough of the 1960’s Black Studies
movement, people of African descent in America were
defined by the legacy of chattel slavery and the oppression
of segregation. This year we recognize the strengths,
contributions, and resilience of the Black Diaspora.
