The study of African American history has become essential in American society. This study is broad and essential as it explores and examines various African American encounters, traditions, lifestyle and their dynamism in the United States. It traces untold African American culture, thereby informing the present generation for the preservation of American ways.
As part of the mission to eliminate residual racism syndrome and inform about the black American culture and lifestyle among the American population, the creation of awareness about the African American history is being promoted in universities and colleges. These study programs not only inform of the African culture but also explores the atrocities committed against the African American community. Awareness creation elicits African American history and explains the various impacts brought about by the people who promoted racism. Moreover, to create an equal nation where every individual has equal rights simply by existence, it has become essential that the present generation know their history with a wider perspective of eliminating African American slavery’s recurrence.
The absence of African American programs would negatively impact my social interaction, especially with African American descent. This perhaps could be through prejudgment and premature opinion about their culture and lifestyle. Without this program, I would have missed the opportunity to explore the dynamism in African American culture and a chance to gain knowledge as to why it is necessary to eliminate biasness in the restoration of rights.
The possible challenges in the African American studies could be the lack of the necessary support to promote its existence within various institutions ranging from lower education levels to tertiary institutions. Another possible challenge is the extent of coverage in terms of people who can be reached to undertake this program. This might be due to a negative attitude and lack of interest among individuals.
