Who's History Is It

Who's History Is It From the beginning of time African history and creation has been astonished and marveled many people. For many years it has been wondered where it all came from.

But what intrigues many …

If America has forgotten her past, then let her look into the mirror of our consciousness and she will see the living past living in the present, for our memories go back, through our black folk of today, through the recollections of our black parents, and through the tales of slavery told by our black grandparents, to the time when none of us, black or white, lived in this fertile land" (1941).
