Pride In One's Own Race
1,618 wordsWhat is race The Webster's dictionary defines race as any of the different varieties of human beings distinguished by physical traits, blood types, and so on.

One could belong to any particular e...

Education Of Black History

Although all of these pieces served the same purpose but their method and what they were presenting were very distinct. In the "Negro" Langston Hughes focused on the history or the past of the African American race to motive the current blac...

New Category From The Mixed Race Community
387 wordsOver the past several years, people of mixed race have been pushing for the a dition of a multiracial category to the U.S. Census. The push for this new category from the mixed race community doesn't stem from hatred for the black or white community but for a love of their mixed race heritage and to end the "tug-of-war" they are faced with when having to choose one parent's race over the other.
