    Slavery is America’s past, our history, it may be a dim but it was recent and has lasting effects to this day. I do not just disagree with people that think it is irrelevant and should not be discussed, I believe it must be. It can be an awkward and depressing conversation, we all have great-grandparents unfortunately not all of them were great or even good people, the point of history whether ancient or recent is to know where we came from, to know what we as humankind have done wrong and to learn from those mistakes and gains.

Along with a more varied method of studying history, courses such as this one, Afrocentric…

    For a period of time, slaves and indentured servants shared very similar rights and statuses. When slaves first arrived, they were treated like indentures servants. No slave laws at the time meant that the slaves were given equal amount of freedom and opportunity. Eventually, that all went away when powerful Maryland and Virginian planters ratified several laws that distinctly separated the white indentured servants from the black slaves. These planter elites went away with “long-standing English legal traditions, such as the right of children to inherit their fathers’ status” (83).…
