Multiculturalism

Black history month

If you want to really learn about various cultural aspects of the arts, the Library of Congress has a lot of lectures on this.



..................


lots of lectures for black history month there, on various African cultures both in Africa and in the USA or elsewhere that don't get a lot of attention: For example, the black elites, African Americans in Hollywood...about Ethiopia's history, and a a lecture on African elites in India... and overlooked leaders like Clarence Thomas or Condi Rice?

(am I the only one who thinks that the producers of "Madam Secretary" were racist for making their heroine a blond white lady? Never mind).


another source of Black History stories is the AAHIAH:

The stories of black cowboys and the Buffalo soldiers is starting to get told, but do you know the story of Stagecoach Mary?
