Glad I did. That was a very interesting read as an introductory post for me to your blog. I couldn't agree more with what you've said. The label of African before the heading of American History detracts rather than adds because it boxes in. All African American contributions are an intrinsic part of US history. It is long past due that everyone should see it as such. Always stressing the separation does not help any towards this goal. I cannot help but remember a lovely European friend of mine who has made it her life's crusade to not allow herself to be boxed in. Whenever asked for her race or ethnicity she ignores what she is given to choose from, draws an extra square puts her X in it, and then she writes 'human' next to it. I've always agreed with her on this.Gypsy at Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17106152285952023602noreply@blogger.com
