Wherever you go in the history of America, there have been Black people making contributions, but their contributions have been obscured, lost, buried.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We must never forget that Black History is American History. The achievements of African Americans have contributed to our nation's greatness.
Black people don't have an accurate idea of their history, which has been either suppressed or distorted.
So many people of color who made major contributions to American history have been trapped in the purgatory of history.
Black history is American history.
The black artist's role in America is to aid in the destruction of America as he knows it.
Black people should have recognition for themselves and their backgrounds and their relationships with other people in the world and thus lose some of their alienation. This museum has certainly stood for that in this town.
Black people have been working hard for decades.
Black people have been qualified to be president for hundreds of years. George Washington Carver could have been president. I could go on with a list of black men that were qualified to be the president of the United States. So the Obama victory is progress for white people.
In a typical history book, black Americans are mentioned in the context of slavery or civil rights. There's so much more to the story.
I fully recognize and appreciate the many substantial contributions of black Americans and other minorities to the creation and preservation and development of our great nation.
