Across The Way

Someone in a school class room asked, "Why do we have to have African Studies or a Black History Month? Why can't we have an Asian, Italian, French, Jewish, Irish, Russian, Armenian, German, or Chinese history month?" The answer that was given is... "Africans were enslaved and brought here to America in Chains! They've had their culture, Language, and lives ripped from them when they were snatched from their homes - they are the only group of people who were forced to come here... they did not come voluntarily to America. It was built on Free Slave Labor!"
