Yale University has announced that it will be holding an eight-day seminar this coming summer to explore methods for presenting African American history and culture to the broader public. The seminar will be hosted by Yale’s Gilder Lehrman Center for the Study of Slavery, Resistance and Abolition and the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture.
The seminar will be held on the Yale campus from July 22-29, 2012. For more information, click here.
Thank you, Yale, but please, let us stop calling it African-American History and integrate it as the inclusion of some heretofore unacknowledged, unrecognized, and/or untaught aspects of American Life and Culture. To wit: Seminar on the Roles of Those of African Descent in American History and in the Development of American Culture. I hope that Carter G.Woodson is smiling.
