African Americans
No
history of the United States of America can be said to reflect the true story
of America, that does not include the contributions made by people of color. Despite
the fact that legalized slavery and segregation marred much of the first two centuries
of the American story, African Americans overcame barriers of slavery, poverty,
racial prejudice, inequality and, in many cases, brutal suppression to add to
the political, artistic, athletic, scientific... and all aspects of the growth
of America as a country. Take
some time to explore the rich cultural heritage of people of African descent woven
into the fabric of the acheivements of this country from the earliest colonial
days to the present... A
