Black History & Culture

Build Competence Foster Connectedness

In order to begin our work in dismantling racism it is important to learn about the people most affected by it, learn who they are as a people and how they have contributed to our history. Black culture has played an important part in the fabric of American life, yet not many understand how and why. Often what society thinks about Black Culture are negative stereotypes and myths. Learning about Black Culture and history is a great way to increase our knowledge, overcome barriers and dismantle racism.

This section will begin with the history of enslaved Black people from their roots in Africa to the shores of Virginia in 1619. We will examine the role African American history and how Black Culture and its tremendous contributions to American history through the arts, sports, social justice and what we know as Pop Culture today.
