Why This Matters

Because Black American history is American history.

The contributions of Black Americans (Descendants of Slavery) are woven into every corner of this nation — from science to art to civil rights. Our children deserve to see that full picture, not just the fragments.

Because Black American Ethnicity identity matters.

There's something specific about being a descendant of enslaved people in America. This study honors that particular lineage — the resilience that came from surviving and rebuilding, generation after generation.
