Some Benefits of Studying Black History
- The study of Black history identifies the key contributions of African Americans that might be omitted or minimized in history survey books due to space limitations.
- Sara Bullard, former director of Teaching Tolerance for the Southern Poverty Law Center, suggests that humans have a natural trait to draw quick conclusions and use these to discriminate. Studying Black history broadens knowledge to help people draw more unbiased conclusions.
- Carter G. Woodson, historian and author, maintained that studying the culture and experience of Blacks dispelled falsehoods about the race.
